Unfortunately, this solution only works to a certain extent...
Only works if your contacts are online, if they are online I can only see skype video call option....no im option exists..
The im option only exists if I am offline,and vithout a video call option and then I cannot send anything
Basically I cannot send an im to a contact that is offline now
the only way to do that is if I already use a previous im conversation and continue from there......but I cant start a new one

Skype video calling only works on latest version 4.2. Update your Skype then you can receive video signal from N900.
Everything works perfect with Skype and Gtalk no lagging at all !

The reason the N900 Skype video calling works only with other N900's or the latest WINDOWS version of Skype is that the N900 Skype uses the H.264 (MPEG-4) video codec, which is new to Skype I guess.
Hopefully H.264 support will be coming to the Linux version of Skype soon. Does anyone know if it will be soon?

I use SIP instead of Skype and that has a button to allow me to make a video call over SIP. I've not tried it yet, but I assume it will work for some SIP providers.
Not quite GPRS cell to cell video calling, but an alternative to Skype nonetheless.

I've tried the Skype video call and it works perfect on WiFi and TMobile USA 3G. Talk about chatting on the go! Only thing is, if you are chatting on the road, you may want to get that massive Mugen battery to ensure that your phone battery doesn't die too quickly.

The contact is using the latest version of skype and is online but, they don't have a webcam.
I will do some proper testing with my house mate when I get home
