Someone should tell Skype how user-unfriendly their set up and introductions are.

Question

If you go through the questions about making a call and adding contacts, you will see scads of very frustrated (potential/frustrated) users who can't get started or re-started.  Why is this?  It is because the Skype intro and help material omit a crucial point, and Skyype personnel don't seem to be interested in or are not aware of this problem. Here is the crucial point:  You don't make calls using any of the Skype pages (as far as I can tell) you get on the Internet (such as your account page, the try Skype for the Web beta, or through the help ages).  Instead, if you have downloaded and installed Skype properly, you should have (at least on a Mac) a Skype icon (a white S on a blue background) at the bottom of your monitor - It's on the bar that Apple hides but that can be called up by dragging your cursor way below the screen and waiting about a second or two).   Click on that, and a calling screen should come up. Somebody, please contact Skype (They don't seem to want people to do that, so it might be hard`) and tell them to add the simple point that to make a Skype call, we need to click on the Skype icon on the tool/app bar at the bottom of the monitor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next step, remove her nokia messaging account from my E72 in order that I may have my account back on my e72.  When this was done the wife receives an email telling her that her subscription had been cancelled from her 5800, I assume becasue it detected me using it from my E72 when removing the accounts.
So, I try to re-setup nokia messaging on her device again on, it should be a lot easier as she now has a nokia messaging account right?  When I enter her nokia messaging email address it will automatically associate the nokia messaging account with the 5800 again, right?
WRONG
At the very least you would need to contact Nokia to re-instate your wife's account and I hope you are on Orange as otherwise you won't get very far in the UK as here:
