It's really pointless of the TRA laws to block skype in India , what if you purchased the phone from some other country with another firmware , and use it in India ... So it becomes pointless to that extinct .

They've even been fighting the Blackberry issue agains RIM's encryption , something similar i guess

Hi folks,

Please refer here, in case you are willing to flash your device with the global version of maemo.
Trust me its better to flash your device and experience an N900 better than the one you are using than find a skype plugin for the Indian version of maemo.

regards,
njain.

Doing the same thing on iOS or Android phones shouldn't be much more difficult. Anyway can't people in India make Skype calls via their PC or notebook?

This looks like another of those poorly thought through, knee-jerk regulations promulgated in the name of "anti-terrorism" which will cause mass inconvenience to millions of ordinary law-abiding people - while it will have little or no effect on the real terrorists who will almost instantly find a way to get round this inconvenience.

N900 is finally launched in India at a very high price of Rs.30000(approx US $640) as compared to current market price of US $450 in USA & other countries.

Despite that India had not got a complete phone which people across the world enjoy. The most important thing :

THERE IS NO SKYPE IN N900 IN INDIAN VERSION. Yes Folks, you read it right. I too got a very heavy attack on the heart especially because I was waiting for this official release when I could have bought the grey market piece as soon as 3months back.

Please help me out with answers to the following questions:

1. Is it possible to install SKYPE separately in the Indian firmware 1.2.

2. If you can download & install SKYPE separately, will it function just the N900 global device with Integrated Skype??

3. Can we make video calls & use SKYPE as easily as integrated Skype?

4. Can we expect Indian firmware 1.3 to have integrated Skype?

5. Is there any other features missing on the Indian firmware as compared to Global firmware?

Nokia has a second home country in India where they can almost sell all their handsets in India. Nokia has a huge fan following & loyal followers in India. Despite that Nokia adoption such wrong policies like:

1. Releasing the phone at a very high price compared to Global markets when it should be vice-a-versa?

2. Not releasing complete phones as compared to global releases

3. Releasing the phones very late, almost after becoming outdated in other countries.

What is the reason for such a attitude against India when it is as of now actually thriving on sales in India.
