I have to do that every time I reboot, but once I do, the IM option remains even when my skype contacts are offline. (until I reboot again)
I'm just interested to know if that workaround doesn't work for some people.

Can anyone tell me why I can't see the other party who have the PC cannot be able to see me or I see them. I've checked all the settings and we can't see each other.
Any suggestions.

Is it just me or is the Skype video call screen on the N900 quite horrendous? It is so ugly and disproportional! :S

Exactly; it is so clear that Skype is a Skype product that I really fail to see how people can get angry at Nokia!

Obviously here isn't the most productive place to do it, and of course caveat emptor, research before purchase blah blah.
To these people I'd like to ask: what other phone can make Video calls (with Skype, Gtalk and SIP) out there and that actually work "better" as you're complaining?

Complaining is easy, but ever you thought about the rationale behind a decision?

Also, the PC can initiate the call, and then I can see the PC video. But as soon as I click on the video button to send my video, the application is also closed.
So it somehow works, but I can't have both video at the same time.
