Nokia Promised to integrate Skype into N97 like half year ago. We haven't seen that yet.

Most of you lost the hope and relied on Fring or Nimbuzz or other programs that allow free internet calling.

I am happy to say Skype has just released a native Symbian version of their wide popular application. Skype is available for Windows, Mac OSX, Windows Mobile, Maemo, Linux and from now on, Symbian S60.

The Symbian version is still in beta and is available for S60v3 FP1 and FP2 but it will be soon available for the touch optimized S60v5 too.

The application currently supports free Skype-to-Skype Calls, Skype to phone calls (with skype credits), Instant messaging, File transfer and calls receiving on your online number.

Last night, at 12:30 I called a friend to check the Quality.

He was pretty surprised saying: "so you wanted to test the new skype version but waking me in the middle of the night?"

But after a few minutes we both decided to say: even if it's beta, the call quality is great.

If Skype is working to improve that quality, I might not need anything else than a large data plan from my operator!

These being said, go and get your skype application here: Download Skype
