Skype gets together with Nokia

By My status Jane Hoskyn on January 10, 2007 in Skype gadgets.

Update: we’ve announced a partnership with Nokia to bring Skype to Nseries devices.

Mobile giant Nokia has revealed to CES delegates that it's teaming up with Skype to create a new mobile edition of the world's favourite internet telephony software.

The new edition of Skype is being built specifically for Nokia's new N800 Internet tablet (pictured), which was also revealed and released for sale at CES. It's not going on sale just yet, but we're likely to see it in mid-2007.

"Skype is the recognized leader of Internet communications with over 136 million registered users worldwide," said Nokia's Ari Virtanen, Vice President of Convergence Products. "Nokia's new N800 Internet Tablet is designed for mobile Internet. Together, we can develop communications devices beyond expectations."

Works fine on mine. I downloaded the try version of im+skype instead of fring. A bit clunky, fring buttons dont work on touchscreen so avoid it. give nokia a week or too and it should rock.

It would be great to have Skype in my Nokia 5800!!! This cooperation is just good bussiness for both companies! Wouldn't change Nokia for any other kind of mobile in that case and would use Skype a LOT more than I get the chance to now!!! Can't wait 'till it's available!!!

Of course, Skype would have to work using WLAN (WiFi) also, or it would just become another useless application.....

Fring has been updated to work properly on the nokia 5800 xpress this enables
Skype contacts to be shown, working like a charm! - uses the wifi connection

How could I install Skype on my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic?

stumpf1970 | Tuesday, Aug 25

I would request SKYPE company to please release a version for touch screen Nokia 5800 and N 97. I would be grateful to you. I think why should we use Fring or Nimbizz instead of SKYPE.

Please take my request.
