Sorry, I can't remember exactly what I had to do to get mine to install Skype,
but I know there are several apps that I have installed that require additional
packages.  I can't look it up right now, but feel free to check out my blog
(http://tablettypethings.blogspot.com) where I posted just about everything I
learned along the way using my n800 (haven't posted in a while).  There are
some posts on there that specifically list all of the repositories where you
can get apps which makes it LOTS easier to find anything you might need/be
missing.

A good thing to do is search on installing Skype on your device and the
specific wording of the error.  

Bottom line, I seriously doubt that has ANYTHING to do with what happened to
your unit.  Also, if you still have a time period where you can return this new
unit if something goes wrong with it, then I say it's the perfect time to flash
that sucker and see if it breaks too.  You can always get a new one.  Just make
sure that you read up as much as possible on how to flash your unit from
Windows.  I would guess that you did it perfectly fine the first time (because
it booted up at least once, so it had to be right), but the more you can read
about it the better off you'll be.  I think I posted on my blog about my
upgrade experience.  The first time I used Windows, the second time I used
Linux.
