Skype has just launched the much awaited Skype app for Symbian platform, and has given it the nameSkype for Symbian.  The just released app is currently in Beta version and supports a limited number of phones from the Finnish based company, Nokia. The app runs on Wi-Fi or 3G connection. Skype plans to bring support for more Nokia phones once they roll out the final version. (Features listed below)
