Three's X-Series extends Skype to mobiles in Sweden
By
Stephen Pinches on February 5, 2007 in Skype Mobile.
As Jane already mentioned over on the UK Skype blog, Hutchinson have extended their X-Series phones into Scandinavia, launching in Sweden (see photos of the launch below).
For a base price of 149 Swedish Kronor a month (£11/E16.50), Swedes will be able to talk their way through the dark winter days, and also access services such as Skype, Yahoo!, MSN Messenger and Hotmail straight from the Nokia N73 handset currently supplied.
In addition, the 'Gold' option at 299 Kronor (£22/E33) adds mobile TV, letting you either watch all the channels from your home TV if you have a Slingbox hooked up to your TV at home, or watch streaming TV straight to mobile via Three's own program, 3Play. As you can see below, it's captured the imaginations of the Swedish press...
Addendum: Three have also now extended X-Series, including Skype for mobile, into Hong Kong as well...
