Skype for Symbian^1 now Released

   

 

Heads up Nokia S60v5 device owners ! Skype is now available as version 1.00(2) for Symbian ^1.

The Symbian Skype Client has most of the features of the desktop version of Skype.

Get all the benefits of Skype on your Symbian phone so you can save money and stay in touch when you’re out and about.

Skype-to-Skype
Free Skype-to-Skype calls and IM on 3G or WiFi.


Save money on calls and texts (SMS) to phones abroad.


Share pictures, videos and other files from your phone.

It’s free to use Skype in a WiFi zone. If you use Skype with a mobile data connection, operator charges may apply, so we recommend an unlimited data plan.

Call and instant message Skype contacts free — wherever you are

If you already use Skype on a computer, you’ll see your full contact list when you sign in to Skype on your Symbian phone. Call free Skype-to-Skype on your mobile, and send and receive instant messages (IMs) one-to-one or with a group.

Save money on calls and texts to phones abroad

Call and text people who don’t have Skype at really low rates. It’s especially great value if you’re calling or texting people who live abroad. Simply dial the number in Skype and pay with Skype Credit or talk unlimited with a subscription.

When you’re abroad, connect to a WiFi zone and avoid roaming charges on calls and texts. This applies to Skype-to-Skype calls, plus calls and texts to phones.

Share pictures, videos and other files

It’s also free to send and receive pictures, videos, and other files so you can share your experiences and stay in touch when you’re away from a computer. Take a picture with your built-in camera and send it to friends on Skype. Easy peasy.

You can get Skype on your S60v3 (FP1 only) or S60v5 Device by going to Skype.com/m. For a list of compatible devices click here.

Apparently it’s quite RAM intensive, so N97 Owners, you might want to be careful with this one !

  1. [...] Skype for Symbian might have been released on the Ovi Store for a couple days now, but it looks like that’s it for USA users. [...]
