fingertips

Luxembourg and Espoo, Finland - Skype and Nokia today jointly announced the
release of Skype for Symbian, a Skype client for Nokia smartphones based on the
Symbian platform, the world's most popular smartphone platform. Skype for
Symbian will allow Nokia smartphone users worldwide to use Skype on the move,
over either a WiFi or mobile data connection (GPRS, EDGE, 3G). It is now
downloadable for free from the Ovi Store, Nokia's one-stop shop for mobile
content.

Skype for Symbian enables Nokia smartphone users to:
- Make free Skype-to-Skype calls to other Skype users anywhere in the world*
- Save money on calls and texts (SMS) to phones abroad
- Send and receive instant messages to and from individuals or groups
- Share pictures, videos and other files
- Receive calls to their existing online number
- See when Skype contacts are online and available to call or IM
- Easily import names and numbers from the phone's address book

Skype for Symbian will run on any Nokia smartphone using Symbian ^1, the latest
version of the Symbian platform. Skype will soon introduce this client to
Symbian mobile devices from other manufacturers, including Sony Ericsson.

 "Symbian enables us to bring smartphones to more and more people and ensures
scale for our solutions and compelling services, such as Skype. We're seeing
around 1.5 million downloads a day on Ovi Store now and believe that the Skype
client for Nokia smartphones will have wide appeal to Symbian users," said Jo
Harlow, Senior Vice President for Smartphones, Nokia.

"Skype, the king of Internet communications, running on Symbian, the world's
dominant smartphone platform, makes for an explosive combination," said Larry
Berkin, Head of Global Alliances and GM USA, Symbian Foundation. "With Symbian's
global reach, Skype is that much closer to becoming the ubiquitous real-time
communications platform for hundreds of millions of Symbian-based mobile users."

Russ Shaw, General Manager, Mobile at Skype said, "With Skype for Nokia
smartphones, more than 200 million smartphone users worldwide** will be able to
take the Skype features they love with them on the move. Alongside Skype's
relationships with operators and handset manufacturers worldwide, making Skype
available direct to consumers will help millions of users keep in contact with
the people that are important to them without worrying about the cost, distance
or whether they are away from a computer."
