it seems like these phone dealers have some tricks in installing software or something. i asked but they refused to say. they tell me to bring my other phone to them for another 10 dollars and they will install.

oh well, i rather pay 20 bucks for 2 n900 rather than wasting endless hours on this. thanks guys.

mod. please close thread!
Lol that is NOT true. Trust me the talk.maemo community knows more than the "dealers". I wonder if he just turned the feature on and tricked you :/ As of now, there is no third party app for N900, as it is integrated in the firmware. I guess it doesnt matter, glad it works

ok here i go!!!!! before reading this thread i had no the skype video call option on my N900, so what i did was update the version of the skype in my laptop to version 5 and voila now i have the video call option. i think the people needs to have the latest version of skype so they can have this option available. try it and enjoy

i dont wanna be rude dude but when people in here tell u it's impossible to install skype separatly u should at least give it a thought.
sometimes it's not a shame to say i'm newbie or not familiar with the phone and ask for step by step instructions.
maybe u had the solution in the below post....
which makes sense to me.......

I had it off for a while but people could do skype calls with video with me, but i couldn't do skype calls with video to them.

Hope that helps

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
http://google.com/search?q=skype+vid...ages&tbs=qdr:y
(searches only site talk.maemo.org in timeframe of year)
