I'm interested in this new phone but cant find any info on Skype for it, so if anyone can tell me if it comes with Skype or if it can be installed later.

Thank.

Skype is coming soon for windows phones, Microsoft now own them so it shouldn't be too long. No exact date is known.

[MrOddJob]

Ok thanks for the info, its not a major thing for me but would like to still be able to use it when needed so hope it wont be to long for the update on it then,

Thanks again.

Hi,

I would like to know whether we can use skype in Nokia 701 or lumia series. I think this 701 support flsh player. Can we use this flash player to perform a skype to skype video call?

But there is no front camera in them, http://www.developer.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/Comparison.xhtml?dev=Lumia_710,Lumia_80... so how to do video call ?

[kingblue]

That can be solved, by using the back camera at low resolution ;-)

If I remember correctly the 6630 also only had back camera, but supported 3G videocalling through the back camera.

Even without video calls skype can still be used for voice and text chat so it would still be a welcome service for many people.

Personally I couldn't care less about video calls, only ever made one in my entire life and have no intention to make more!

[MrOddJob]

Agree with you Psychomania not really interested in making video calls, if I'm on my desktop at home only use Skype for voice and chat calls unless its one of them good looking lady friends.

There is front camera in nokia 701. Will that help?

[psychomania]

Nokia 701 is not a windows phone, you may want to ask questions about that model in the symbian section of this forum.

So... here we are THREE months later and still no Skype. I just bout my Lumia 800 today and am **bleep** to the clouds already. Been playing with it for 6 hours, trying to get it to work together with my laptop (Windows Vista) and the Bluetooth just won't work together with it. Not to mention that Lumia's bluetooth won't even work with my old phone which is Nokia C6.

Don't know should I laugh or should I cry...

[kinaton]

You are not alone... 

Many are having similair issues.! 

[ejovi]

Wait for the Lumia 900. It comes equiped w/ a front facing camera.

[Erazor84]

Microsoft will announce and probably release skype at the MWC. only one more week to go

[Ep0nine]

Erazor84, from your fingertips to God's ears! Let's hope so.
