I’m glad to announce Skype 1.0 for Symbian.

Hello, the release notes refer to v1.0.3 as the latest version for Skype Symbian S60v3 however the download link is for v1.0.2 which does not have the fix for using touch tone codes during a call. Can you please advise where to get the latest version. Thanks
Hi Raul,
I just installed Skype in my Nokia N97 and my contact lists in my phone suddenly disappeared. How can I get them back?
I really need your help! I am so frustated, because the address book that I already saved for more than 10 years suddenly gone

Hi Raul,
I am trying to download Skype on my Nokia 5320 using skype.com/m but getting some coded error screen when i press the download button. Can you please help?
Regards, Khalid
Hi Khalid, you need to download from this page at the link for v3, the it will work for your phone, I guess.
I installed it on my E55 and it is working flawlessly. Why do you say it is not recommended to use it? What adverse effect could it have?
Thank You!! Thank YOU!! for the Skype for Symbian S60 v5 for the Nokia 5800!! I’ve been waiting so long for this moment.. It works fantastic!
. Now I can talk with my parents and family everywhere I go! Thanks again to all who made this possible.
Am I the only person who is having problems with Skype and the 5800? Most of it works fine but you simply can’t send chat messages to anyone.
You start a chat with somebody and you get a yellow input bar with a smiley to the left, and a speech bubble to the right. You can send smileys by clicking on the face, and sending with the speech bubble and you’d think that if you clicked in the yellow area it would open up a keyboard so you could type. But it doesn’t. I do have Dayhand Keyboard installed but this shouldn’t be an issue, it’s worked with 100% of the stuff I have installed in the past, and I have installed some weird and obscure stuff. Even if it didn’t work with Skype there’s still the old Nokia on-screen keyboard there as well to fall back on. So what’s the issue? Is it possible to type an IM or has nobody actually noticed that the only thing you can send are smiley faces?
On a similar note, having received replies to my smiley face texts from people who were rightly confused, the font size is too small to actually read them. I don’t wear glasses and yet I had to squint and put the phone about a foot from my face to make out what the 4 point font actually said – Given the enormous waste of screen-space used by enclosing it in indented pretty boxes there is no need for this, surely it would be better to be able to read the text as opposed to having a pretty looking blur.
Everything else seems good, but since I mostly use Skype for IM type chatting the application is actually utterly useless.
Has anyone else actually tried to use the IM functionality?
Michael.
Ah ha. The typing issue is with Dayhand – When I disable it it allows me to use the nasty little default Nokia keyboard (I’d forgotten how horrible that was!).
Um, well I’d rather use Fring with Skype than have to squint to read the text and use the Nokia Keyboard and I don’t really see why Dayhand wouldn’t be supported, it’s the only application I have ever known not so so there must be some weird jingo going on here.
Please can you advise when the Nokia e55 will be supported?

ok there is some issue with memory card,
my solution was install skype on phone memory and if still skype stucks with memory card – JUST FORMAT mem.card.
And thats it!
Probably when people tryes to install on mem card first and then on phone memory – there still some tmp files which skype tryes to take from this mem.card – so thats why You need to format it.
Hope it will help
.
Skype is really some nice peace of software.

Dear Team ,
I have download skype 1.0 in to my nokia 5800 but its not loging in can u help me ?
Hi and4rean,
I had the same problem on my Nokia X6. I overcame with the problem by following steps.
1. Download Skype & Fring from Nokia OVI store & Install both the softwares
2. First login to Fring (I used my gmail account)
3. Once you successfully logged into the Fring then withough logging out from Fring, try to login to Skype.
It worked for my. all the best.
