Skype for Symbian UIQ and Series 60 spotted

by Ryan Block, posted Feb 16th 2006 at 2:19PM

If you wanted to get your hands a little dirty, you could have made Skype calls on your Series 60 phone long before now, but it looks like that Skype / Hutchison deal from this week is already turning up roses in the form of Skype for Symbian (both UIQ and Series 60, to be precise). According to AllAboutSymbian's find over at the Nokia booth at 3GSM apparently the client's well rounded out, too, with voice calls, Skype Out, and IM -- though a 1 second latency on 3G isn't gonna make your conversations all that easy to carry on. Thankfully Skype's apparently working on channeling that traffic over WiFi for handsets like the N80.

actually H3G is making so many deals with companies (although they look like on the verge of bankrupcy...).
they got a deal with Nokia so that they're the only one selling the 6280, now this Skype thing...

is it going to rise from its ashes?
