Thanks Jakiman - you make this a happy day.

Edit: it works but no video of course... (only step 1 out of 2)

BTW- I was one of the early complainers in the N8 topic on Skype fora about "Why no N-series Skype preload and integration as to Barcelona 2009N Nokia & Skype partnership" . Some Skype staff dropped that they would release a version before end of 2010 but that it would not be the full version.

"Don't expect something revolutionary in this release, the exiting stuff is reserved for next year and newer Nokia phones like N8 and such, which finally have the power to do what Skype users want."

It looks like full Skype for Symbian^3 (integrated?) will see the light somewhere one year after the announcement of the N8. Well done Nokia, Skype?

Hope the successor of the N900 can keep the Skype integration!

"So the N900 finally does what we want it to 10 years ago. Great, but I don't live in the past but in the present and I expect a bit more today. Call me greedy."

Ok but apart from making the overall experience of Maemo 5 smoother and Nokia official commitment to support and upgrade the OS during another x years?
What are your really missing today?
I am missing a full blown e-mail client. But then again, the N900 has mobile Firefox rendering Zoho mail in full desktop version.
I envy the N8's HDMI out. It would be so much more justified on the N900.

Symbian^3 is very new and the "app shop" is full of children stuff.
Let's see if it helps some beautiful QT apps to appear over the next 12 months and then if those apps find their way to the antique N900
