Skype lands in Nokia's Ovi Store Yesterday, the only good way to get Skype for Symbian on a Nokia Series 60 smartphone was to download it from Skype's Web site or a site like CNET Download.com. On Wednesday, Skype announced that its VoIP calling app is now available through Nokia's Ovi storefront.

She adds: "The free Skype app for Symbian smartphones (which really should be renamed Skype for Nokia) has the usual Skype features of placing and receiving VoIP calls and support for IM and international SMS."
