The skype integration is just great.

One little inprovement idea here:

If you have a skype account you can call a contact directly from the contact app.



It would be nice if the additional information (mobile), (home), (work) would be added on the buttons "Call with Skype"



If you like the idea vote for it on brainstorm: http://maemo.org/community/brainstor..._have_details/

Still needs some votes.

One more vote needed to start voting for solutions.

Added. Good idea. Should really be the same for any calling solution such as VOIP too.

@Fargus

Thanks

@All you can vote for the solution now. Which is not such a big thing as you can see in the screenshot below.

Infos like (Mobile), (home) or (work) should be added after the Text "Call with Skype".

wouldnt it be just nice to have only the numbers shown and choose in a second screen which service to use? if you open up from history you will see only three entries until you tap the pic so you are most of the time forced to tap cell by accident. It would also clean the view as you dont have 4 pages to scroll with 4 numbers and 4 services active...

@chemist

I dont like second tabs. Idea is to get to where you want to go as fast as possible.

If your idea would be followed I think it could be like this. Just a quick mock-up.

What do you think. Hope people will vote for this brainstorm anyhow.




Added a second solution at http://maemo.org/community/brainstor..._have_details/

nice idea but if I have cell+sms+mms(someday)+jabber-voice+voip(private)+voip(work)+skype there is not enough space!

to go there the fastest... all views should be the same so popping up from history should be the same as contacts tab and thats not working out atm as you only get cell+1 entries shown.

what is faster? taping the wrong and closing the phone app and do it again or a second screen? I am now used to it but sometimes I tap wrong with scrolling so I am calling jabber which wasnt I was after...

On my previous phone I had one entry shown, chose number with left and right (number or email or stuff) and an options button with popup for further actions like sms mms or send contact details... that was slow but tap once popup tap again isnt slow at all... saving taps is something people like to do for some reasons I dont understand

more interesting would be to have small icons in the overview of contacts to note whether there is an email adresse saved or not (this should be configurable with priority setting as portrait wont show them all and with status of IM accounts included if picked to show, maybe rolling if it doesnt fit in the space, also the contact card shown in your pic should have all status notes shown not only one icon...)

How does the old saying go: You can't have it all :-)

Might be an improvement for 95% of the N900 users.

I usually call Phone to Phone or send SMS.

I guess you can add a solution as well for this brainstorm, not?

@chemist

Just thought about it. The last button that is still empty could be the more button that brings up the second tab.

How about this :-)
