Finally - Skype for Symbian! (kind of)

natecow | 12 February, 2007 10:29

I was enjoying some high-speed connectivity in Geneva on Friday at LIFT07, and stumbled upon an application I've been wanting on my Nokia for years: a Skype client. iSkoot is the name of the company - and their approach is a bit different from the other (pocket pc) mobile Skype clients I've seen. The app makes the phone actually place a local call to their server which then connects the user to the  chosen phone number or skype buddy. This makes a lot of sense for users who have a low bandwidth / expensive data plan that can't consistently support duplex voip conversations. However, for someone in a foreign country without a working sim card but access to a high speed wifi connection - it doesn't seem to do the job. And also unfortunately for me, it doesn't seem to work in Kenya either, but they apparently support most other locations. Would be interested in hearing some reviews from the Symbian community...
