The fate of Skype for Windows Mobile may be in jeopardy, but the vitals on the Symbian version of the voice and text chat client seem to be very, very good. Yesterday, Nokia added Skype for Symbian, complete with the ability to make Skype calls via Wi-Fi, 3G or EDGE, to its Ovi Store. “With Skype for Nokia smartphones, more than 200 million smartphone users worldwide will be able to take the Skype features they love with them on the move,” said Skype’s mobile GM Russell Shaw. If you’re rocking a Nokia handset, and have Symbian^1 or higher, you can head on over to the Ovi Store to pick up the goodies.

    It’s not just S^1 devices. All the S^1 devices are covered, plus a decent selection of S60 3rd FP1 and FP2.

        I’m confused – I have been able to get Skype on my N85 for a while now. I didn’t even see the offering in the Ovi store. Weird.

    Not much has changed from the beta. They’ve cleaned up a few menus though and you can set up a default access point. I just hope the power consumption has been reduced.

    The Ovi Store version didn’t install right on my N95. This might be because I was running the beta before.

    You can also get it by going to skype.com/m in your phone browser, which worked for me.

    I’ve been using it since beta. It still needs some improvements on instant messaging interface. Call quality is good, even on 3g (i’m using AT&T)

    Jesus Harold Christ on a Goddamn Rubber Crutch – will you give it a rest?!?!?!? Its obvious that he does NOT have complete control of the sh!tuation with drive by spammers. You have made your fucking point already. You think browbeating and thrashing around like bitch with a skint knee is going to get anything to change?

    The way I see it, you have 3 options:

    1 – Continue being a cunt.
    2 – Downrate the the spammy posts…and move along with your day.
    3 – Fuck off to another site.
