Hello,

I bought 2 n900 for me and my girl. I shopped around and chose N900 because it is not an apple product. I know this phone have skype video calling. i bought 2 for me and my girl so we can chat when i am deployed. I these are brand new in the box. i just updated these phone over wifi connection. the phones are currently on latest firmware which is pr 1.3. I used the pre install skype bundled in these N900 but only able to connect via voice call and IM. I dont have the video calling option. Some told me to update to the latest firmware which i already did. I also go to the app. manager and update everything there is to update yet i can't get video calling option. please help as for i am about to be deployed. my girl is clueless about this stuff. she only knows how to turn on the phone, hit the button and chat and shopping!!

please tell me if i need to do anything else. do i need to get the latest version of skype? where do i get it? i saw that it came preinstalled. Please help. thanks

have you bothered to google around?

you probably have a indian device or a device which has voip/skype callin disabled due to regional/national rules and regulations.

flash your device to "global firmware" and your issue will be resolved. This time google this info or search the forum before raising further query.

also check voip and im settings for skype availability.

if u got the latest firmware just select skype contact u want to video call and click skype video call.....

Guys i think this person is trolling , probably someone from previous thread related to Indian firmware , racism and skype in Ovi store etc... I wonder if moderator can look him up by IP address

the heck are you talking about? ask the mod to look me up!!!

check the voip setting and skype is available.

i just discovered something.

i used my laptop and connect to one of my n900 skype account. On my laptop i selected video calling because the option is there. all i had to do was hitting the answer button on my phone and i got Video calling. After that the video calling option is available for the contact i just use on my n900. new contact does not have video calling option on my phone. Weird??

as for flashing my phone! i currently have 1 year warranty with nokia. i dont want to risk losing the warranty.

as stated in my questions. i do have latest firmware but the video call option on skype is not there. i only have IM and voice call option

and as for you. i think u should keep that comment to yourself! u said u think that i am someone that trolls the forum and created issues. although u said u "think" but that is still an accusation! although u have lots of posts does not mean you can say stuff like that.

Any moderator here please check my IP to see if i am the person that he said. check my IP to see how many account is associated with this IP! probably one!..

but if i were a mod. i will check this guy out who started issue for no reason. he is the troller that troll around and offend people!

lots of lovely help and advice here from you guys
constantly telling people to use search and shooting people down on this forum is awful, and its still going on a year after i joined!
there should be a 'no thanks you were totally unhelpful' button

i can confirm...i have a global firmware..and still i dont get video calling option now...people can video call me..but i cant.. :/ ! fux ?
