The reports i have seen seem to rely on connection speed to get Skype to work, its a mixed bag of reports but it is working for 3g connect speeds but not for anyhing lower i believe.
See this blog link about Skype,

I finally gave in yesterday. Reverted to stock kernel and installed the 1.2RC on one of our phones.

Subtle changes to the phone that make me happy. There´ll be quite a disappointment amongst many who participated in the humongous "Dave999´s original legendary waiting for godot....with Chuck Norris" PR1.2 thread. Unless something awesome is not included in this RC, but will be in the final release, this will be a very disappointing release after all the time Nokia has spent doodling with it.

But the RC is working very stable for me. My conversations IM contacts show up fine. Tried Skype video yesterday, over wifi, but couldn´t get it to work properly. My image was seen but I didn´t get a video from the counterparty.

Hopefully that´ll be resolved before the final release.

Processor seems to run more at 4-5% idle now than 2-3%, I´ll have to wait a little longer to get a feel for the actual battery life comparison.

My rootfs usage went from 167-170mb to 121-129mb after flashing and installing all my programs. That´s definitely positive. Perhaps that´s also part of the reason the processor reports running at higher load, as the device is swapping more information back and forth.

1.2 is definitely a step forward, but not a huge leap.

Since flashing the leaked firmware, I have been having an interesting problem.

I have mplayer installed. However, anytime I use the app manager to update/remove/install software, mplayer gets uninstalled. I then have to re-install it.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but Canola2 was installed after flashing and re-installing from a backup (Never had installed it before).

Anyone else seeing anything similar?

That's weird, I haven't had any mplayer problems. I don't have Canola2 installed.

Just checked my backup prior to installing 1.2L. Canola2 was not listed in the backup.

However, Canola2 was definitely installed after flashing and restoring my backup. I played with it for a little bit, and ended up un-installing it.

I thought I had narrowed down mplayer going missing after using the app manager. That may not be the case. I've done a little playing installed an app, and it hasn't gone missing yet. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

the past few days I have been on a busy trip for work , and we work actually too occupied to care about the firmware on our phones.
PR 1.2 RC didn't let me down.
Took a few skype vid calls on my N900 over wifi and even guided my wife on the other side around at the breakfast bufet to prove I was being fed.
Happy and just wanted to let you know Skype video call works ok but not always perfectly. It seems to depend on the software version of the client at the other side too if it will initiate correctly or not.

I have noticed that if you set up the voice mail quick dial (keeping the 1 button pressed on the telephone keypad) it adds a Voice mail item to your address book with a nice little icon with Transparent background whne added to the desktop.

How's overclocking and undervolting on 1.2? Is it the same as on the previous fw via the application manager?

Exactly the same as PR 1.1.1.

Ive heard the screen v-synch issues of before (lack of!) and jerky video recording have been known to be fixed in 1.2 - is this true?

Im still not sure what to believe- not that an early firmware release wouldnt have its problems anyway, but there are plenty of users out there stating that the majority of 1.2 leaks out there have actually been tampered with by third parties, resulting in alot of problems. I think its the torrent releases to avoid http://www.softsailor.com/news/25602...ent-sites.html

i think im going to just wait for the official version (available via the phones online option) to be released.. if it ever happens, lol. Ive read posts from just about every month (from the past 4 months now) stating that itll be officially released "any time now"..... so heres hoping itll b before xmas! I initially found most of my 1.2 info on how well it performs via youtube... a good source for actual proof/differences on performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORtHQ...eature=related
