Having bought a N800 (and reflashed to OS2008, never used the OS2007) and also a N810, how does the N810 become a downhill direction from the n800 ?

And what's the rationale behind your though of N800 -> N810 road being an abondonment by Nokia of the road taken with the N800 ?

Who said we don't?

Again, specific to the original post: video on Skype is Skype's responsibility. The same applies to other externally owned and developed applications and clients.

As for in-house development, I can't comment.

If you read that list of specifications I had dreamt about it included an internal SD slot (for easy upgrade of internal storage) plus the traditional external SD slot. The N810 gave up on all of that. From what has been hinted at by others these features are not coming back. For some people it doesn't matter, for me it matters a lot (which is why this was my dream specification).

Acevid, are you holding the forums hostage here? "Hand over the h323 compatibility, or I'll keep adding links about it to my sig, and keep posting!"

If I started selling something and had an agreement with another party that they would provide x and I would provide y, and I did provide y and they didn't provide x, I would be thinking about suing the other party, out of a sense of responsibility to my customers.

Lawsuits aren't always an answer, geneven... and I would hope that even when they are it's as a very last resort.

There is a "damned if you do...." kind of vibe going on here. If Nokia had developed a proprietary machine, everyone would now be complaining about how it was not open. But since they went with an open OS and applications, everyone complains that they just are not doing enough, or not holding Skype's feet to the fire.

Since Skype only released a linux version with video recently, I think it is a bit much to expect that Nokia should have leverage to force a video version for the IT. As far as suing Skype for not providing software...how do you know that the agreement included video? I would say that Skype delivered a good bit--we can use their software on the IT...yes, video would be nice, but you still can make Skype calls on the tablet.
