Got to admit, i am considering one of the galaxy player/wifi models as a N800 replacement.

Catching up ...been awhile. Hi friends of the N800. While my iPhone 3GS dominates the day...there is nothing like the Love I had for my N800...til the pregnant wife swiped it and I had to purchase a second one. lol
In the end it worked out good because we were video calling all over the house and from the horse barn while she was a little confined to bed.
I really don't know too much about the N810 and its maemo OS2008, but was wondering if there is any other easy option to set up VoIP between the N810 and another computer, just to call home. (I have pidgin installed on the N810 and that works well via AIM for text.)
Any suggestions? Thanks.

although the app is difficult to use as most of the settings seem to be white text on a white background. (could be a conflict with the maemo5 theme)
looking into it more....it seems that skype was updated a while ago. I took a look at the os2008 downloads page and there is a package called Communications v2.2.0.35 which leads to:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/downloading.debian32
wondering if others with skype installed before 2011-10-31 were prompted to update.
