A Skype client for Nokia smartphones based on the
Symbian platform is now available as a free download at Nokia´s Ovi
Store. Skype for Symbian will allow
Nokia smartphone users worldwide to use Skype over either a WiFi or mobile data
connection (GPRS, EDGE, 3G).
Users can make free Skype-to-Skype calls to other
Skype users in the world. However, using an unlimited data plan is recommended
to avoid incurring additional charges from operators and extra charges may
apply if you´re using a mobile data connection when abroad.
You can also send and receive instant messages, share
pictures, videos and other files or receive calls to their existing online
number. Names and numbers can be imported from the phone´s address book and you
can also see when Skype contacts are online and available to call or IM.
Skype for Symbian will run on any Nokia smartphone using Symbian^1, the
latest version of
the Symbian platform. Skype will soon introduce this client to Symbian mobile
devices from other manufacturers, including Sony Ericsson.
The initial Skype for
Symbian application is compatible with the following Nokia touchscreen models:
Nokia N97, Nokia N97 mini, Nokia X6, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia 5530.
It is also available on the
following non-touch devices: Nokia E72, Nokia E71, Nokia E90, Nokia E63, Nokia
E66, Nokia E51, Nokia N96, Nokia N95, Nokia N95 8Gb, Nokia N85, Nokia N82,
Nokia N81, Nokia N81 8 Gb, Nokia N79, Nokia N78, Nokia 6220 classic, Nokia 6210
Navigator and Nokia 5320.
