Not sure how true this is, but it seems to be all over the net.

And to think, the N97 was the only phone I'd be upgrading too this year.... oh well looks like I'll have to look again.

dont really understand all that skype nonsense....

I think basically its free calls over the internet, but the receiver has to have this skype account.

I had skype on my phone but didnt know any1 with it aswell! waste of time!

I suppose it'd be more useful for when you travel abroad or call someone who is abroad, just find your nearest wireless hotspot and you'd be able to chat away!
