oh dear. This long thread and i haven't still seen what version of skype op used on his computer.

We really need somekind of faq or small questions template on "how to ask help in correct way".

E.G. ask fw version and region while same time showing how to look it
ask installed software and version of apps on n900(show how this is done)
if needed ask installed apps on computer and version of apps.

.edit
and imo it's not wrong to teach little googling
