Skype comes to Nokia

MWC 2009: N97 to get software pre-loaded


17 February 2009 8:45 GMT / By Stuart Miles

Skype has announced that it will be bringing its VoIP application to Nokia handsets in the coming months, starting with the Nokia N97 which is expected to be released in June.

“Collaborating closely with Nokia to preload and integrate our software onto their devices will benefit the many Nokia customers who already use Skype, as it makes Skype easily accessible and simple to use on the go. It will also bring Skype new users who love Nokia’s Symbian S60 experience”, said Scott Durchslag, Skype’s chief operating officer.

Nokia N97 owners around the world will also be able to use 3G and WLAN to easily make and receive free Skype-to-Skype voice calls, in addition to low-cost Skype calls to landlines and mobile devices.
