I have a rock solid Skype with great quality. I am a rank newbie on the Nokia and haven't hacked it at all; I kept trying to install Skype until it said it was available, then it said it needed an OS upgrade, which I installed, and then I installed Skype. I've made several calls (from Canada) to North America and overseas Skype and telephones for up to half an hour with no problems whatsoever, no dropped calls, no dropouts in either direction.

My only disappointment was no video, I had been reading about Skype having video in beta for Linux and was expecting it. Any intel on when we might get it for the N810?

Yes, rub it in. It seems to work with the N810 and 2008os, but not the N800.
(Is this correct?)
Did Skypeout work with N800/os2007?

> Did Skypeout work with N800/os2007?

Yep - still does.. I'm waiting for Skype on OS2008 before I upgrade.

Waiting patiently...

I emailed Skype at the same time I posted my message here. I finally received this reply from the company.... Unfortunately, it's not much help. I have downgraded to OS2007 and will wait patiently until there is a fix for the Skpe issue. --- It DOES work on 2007.

I have redeemed my voucher for Unlimited calls in the USA & Canada, but each time I try to use the device to make a call, the receiving phone will ring and when they answer, I get a ((((Misc Error))) message and the call is dropped. I am using the newest version of Skype available. Version [10017/1.762.48.5] Do you have any suggestions?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Any Improvements in skype in OS2008 ( !beta ) ? I am in a place that rips me off for download bandwidth. Can some one confirm that skype *works* on the full version of 2008 ? If thats the case, I would go ahead and download it.

Thx

Yes, Skype now works. I have been using it all morning since flashing to
the new release. It would be nice if it used the built in camera, but I'm happy with it not crashing anymore.

Linux beta with webcam is already out, so maemo version shouldn't be far behind.

I'll be checking out the official OS update tonight, fingers crossed it works well with Skype!
