Nokia To Sell Phones With Skype Software
By stormy at 18 February, 2009, 8:53 am
Skype and Nokia announced a partnership yesterday in Barcelona.
Some of Nokia’s higher end models, starting with their flagship, N97, will start shipping with an integrated Skype installation from the third quarter of this year.
Skype will be part of the address book on N97, displaying which contacts are online and providing instant-messaging with them.
Scott Durchslag, Skype’s CEO:
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.
