by nolovelust 3. March 2010 11:24

Skype released Symbian version of their voip/video chat software. Symbian is operating system of most of the Nokia smartphones and have a very big market share. If you have a Nokia phone with Ovi store installed you can check it from there to see if you can download it. I personally use Skype to make cheap international calls from my mobile phone and as it explained official video below it could save you quite a bit of money.
