They should at least enable the back camera as a work-around...
I experienced the exact same thing.

Little off-topic question. How is the contact integration in Android? Can you login to gtalk, gvoice, sip, skype, and facebook all from the same interface?

Gtalk has a dedicated app, same goes for MSN (you need to download one).
Skype dedicated app which was released today, sip = don't know.
No integration into phone contacts application, BUT
Android is built upon some very nice and unique fundamentals such as Activities and Services, each app can sport several services and activities, one of those activities can be : dial and outgoing call - The phone default dialer app does that, also does skype with skypeout, contacts CAN include skype info / other info. So i believe the integration is possible, with the help of a few applications.
Even the whole homescreen can be replaced with an application implementing an activity, for example launcher pro.

If you were hanging on to your N900 because of skype, you now have an alternative.
Skype just released an android version for all android 2.1 phones (and maybe 2.2)
It works over 3g / wifi without extra costs besides data plan if applies.
