I found the following:

"Am afraid i dont know about the N97 native client but you could try the new Symbian Beta (not officially supported for the N97 but some users are reporting they have installed it and it works) at least until the Native client gets released anyway." 

at this link http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=488381

Has anyone attempted this with an N97? What issues/success have you encountered? Hoping for some feedback to help me decide if I want to attempt this.

It installs and works sort of, chat works but thats about it.

May I take this time to express my disgust over the general state of the N97/Skype. I paid £500 for mine and have had nothing but sodding issues over sodding issue plus being lied to constantly by Nokia. Accuweather refuses to work for ANY city/town in the UK (yes I have tried every single one!) Every other country in the world gets weather info but not the uk

Have you tried installing Nimbuzz?

I can make and receive Skype calls fine using Nimbuzz on the Three network in the UK.

Oh, and Accuweather works fine also

I have fring but fring is not what nokia promised. Also Accuwether used to work untill the V20 firmware. No amount of hard resets etc will sort this problem. The forum is filled with comments about Acuuweather not working.

The phone is a complete joke.
