Skype Coming to Nokia N97

Skype on Nokia N97

I currently use Fring to make Skype calls from my Nokia N95, but I really wish the process were more seamless. If I could make Skype calls on my phone as quickly and intuitively as I make voice calls on my phone, I’d save a pretty penny on my phone bill. That’s why I’m very happy to hear from the Mobile World Congress that Skype will be directly integrated into the address book of the Nokia N97.

I want the N97 even more now. In the meantime, I hope Nokia can roll out Skype integration as a firmware update to currently available handset models.
