I bought my Nokia N8 in US and not I am in Italy. When I try to connect with Skype I get an ‘unable to connect to Skype server’ error, I think it is because of local Skype server problem. Am I right and If so how do I correct this error? Or is it because of something else?
This has been a common problem for Nokia & Samsung servers.
It has been resolved by changing the area code to that of the US regardless of where you are
You could also try the link below for the offline installer. Ensure you have temporarily disabled firewall or antivirus till after the download.

Note that Skype works best with Wi-Fi connections thanks to its stability. Connections with high packet-loss rate like 3G experience such problems
Hi,
This is a common problem but it can be solved. From the looks of it I can diagnose the problem as being a network problem. Most probably you phone was configured with the United States internet setting and therefore can not work in Italy.
These configurations can be changed either manually of a downloaded configuration file from your network operator. Contact you network operator for this.
