Nokia Mobile Phones integrated with Skype
Nokia and Skype announced that Skype will be available to Nokia mobile phones at Mobile World Congress. Nokia will integrate Skype to its Nseries mobile phones and the Nokia N97 flagship device will be the first to incorporate the Skype experience in the 3rd quarter of 2009.
The Skype experience will be part of the address book of the Nokia N97, enabling presence - seeing when Skype contacts are online - as well as instant messaging. Nokia N97 owners around the world will also be able to use 3G and WLAN to easily make and receive free Skype-to-Skype voice calls, in addition to low-cost Skype calls to landlines and mobile devices.
Scott Durchslag, Skype’s Chief Operating Officer.
Making Skype available everywhere through mobile devices is essential to fulfilling our vision of ‘enabling the world’s conversations, Collaborating closely with Nokia to preload and integrate our software onto their devices will benefit the many Nokia customers who already use Skype, as it makes Skype easily accessible and simple to use on the go. It will also bring Skype new users who love Nokia’s Symbian S60 experience.
Jose-Luis Martinez, Vice President, Nokia Nseries, Said
With more than 400 million Skype users worldwide, the integration of Skype on Nokia Nseries mobile computers is a significant step in bringing converged Internet experiences from the desktop to the world’s most advanced mobile computer.
