Extending the life of an N8x0: automatic Skype launcher
Andres Gomez describes how a couple of small tweaks allow an old N800 or N810 to be an always-on, ready-to-use Skype phone: Nokia’s hardware is superb and the sound quality of the N810 makes it a good choice for this. Still, I didn’t need another Skype phone myself but my parents, who have a lot of troubles for making use of Skype’s software in the computer, were the perfect candidates. Also, placing the N810 24/7 online side by side to their land line phone would let them receive and check at any moment for the availability of their regular Skype contacts.
