Skype May be Coming to Symbian UIQ3

Rumor and hearsay are floating around that the Symbian UIQ3 operating system will soon be supporting the popular VoIP application, Skype. The recently released Sony Ericsson P1i shows, on page 66 of its white paper, a mention of “Skype – Voice over IP application that lets the user make mobile phone calls over the Internet.” This would mean that Symbian UIQ3 owners will be able to take advantage of the free internet calls that Skype software allows.
Keep your fingers crossed on this one! (and hook it up with some additional information, if you can)

Skype not really interesting on Symbian anymore because standard VoIP gateways has lower prices and already supports by Symbian Nokia software. Also VoIP codecs has lower bandwidth than Skype need.
I think you are wrong. If they can make a good client on Symbian that works well, a lot of people will use it. Skype is well known and has many followers.
And what do you mean by lower bandwith? Are you going to run it through 3G? There are so many hot spots for wi-fi these days that you’ll probably be online for the better part of your working day. Not to mention when you get home.
I think it is going to be a hit
Has anyone looked into a something called ‘fring’ apparently it works really well on uiq… havent got my p1i yet so can’t say for certain…
