I recently bought N900 in India and cant seem to install Skype on the device since the Maemo support webstie by Nokia lists the application as pre-installed. However, it is not pre-installed on my device. Kindly help.

i dont exactly know the title of the thread but soon some one will post it :P
go into settings and then Voip then creat a new account and choose skype and put your user name and password and wait for it to sign in and then hit status bar (where the green dot) is visible then you will see a tab of availability .
here you can switch to offline and online modes .
try and if still some help , ask

If you could not able to find skype after trying the above approach, you can try this.I'm not sure where are you from but initially i faced the same probelm that skype was not available. But i could able to install it from Ovi store, once you install it the above procedure would work....

Reflash, use the global firmware.
Offtopic: Why can't we just recommend ONLY using the Global firmware when reflashing? Should take care of a lot of things, notably missing/disabled regional crap.

If you have an Indian device it will not have skype installed. The only way to get skype is to re-flash your device with the global version of the firmware.
Follow the instructions here:
