Skype now available in Ovi Store
Skype is now available for Nokia smartphones from the Ovi Store.
Over 200 million more of you around the world can now download a great, full-featured Skype app to your mobile phones.
It’s ready to download now from our website or from the Ovi store, and it does everything you’d expect a great Skype app to do. Mark explains all in the video above, but in short, you can:
- make free Skype-to-Skype calls to other Skype users anywhere in the world
- save money on calls and texts with our low rates
- send and receive instant messages to and from individuals or groups
- share pictures, videos and other files
- receive calls to your online number
- see when Skype contacts are online and available to call or IM
- easily import names and numbers from the phone’s address book
You can call, text, IM and everything else whether you’re on a 3G or WiFi connection, so when you’re abroad, just pop in a local SIM card with an unlimited data plan – or find a WiFi zone – and you’ll be able to avoid those pesky roaming charges.
Skype for Symbian will run on any Nokia smartphone using Symbian^1, the latest version of the Symbian platform. Soon, we’ll update the app so that it works on Symbian mobiles from other manufacturers, including Sony Ericsson.

And for those wondering where I am, and why I haven’t posted anything in a while. I’m on a short(three week :)) vacation in Thailand, and therefore haven’t had time to post anything. Vic has been able to post all the important bits of information during this time, but this is the reason why you don’t get 5-10 new posts every day.
I’ll be back in action on March 15th. Take care everyone!!
