Hey...

Is there a 'legitimate' Skype client for Nokia N95 without using Fring/iSkoot etc?

Cheers.

What do you mean by "legitimate"? Nok don't produce their own ASAIK as they push gizmovoip.

Legitimate meaning from Skype and not a third-party app I think. I have a N81 and my wife has an E51 and the N81 has a Nokia VOIP client and I downloaded the Nokia VOIP client for the E51. I didn't see anything about Gizmo VOIP on the Nokia site?

Is that Skype for Symbian linked a couple of posts above a new thing? I was looking around a few months ago for a Skype client, couldn't find one and ended up using Fring.

Thanks for your help guys. I tried out the link that newname24 left... downloaded and ran just fine on the N95 - only prob is - it doesn't seem to support outgoing video calls without Skype credits.

(Which is strange, given I can access it using my WiFi - so why the need for credits is beyond me?!)

Thanks anyway.

im a current 3 mobile customer and considering changing to optus (for a number of reasons).

only q i have is, with the nokia n95 if i load the skype client how does it usage get charged? is it standard MB's per month on the "data" plans? i know '3' had a special 'skype' plan... which nobody else has --- is this correct?

using skype on a n95 on say, an optus $49 cap plan, would mean buying additional 'data' hours each month for skype/data traffic.

also, whats a typical skype bandwidth, say 10 min each day x 30 days, 300 mins = XX megabytes? (assume voice only). thanks!
