    Well they've finally released a beta of a Symbian client - from the blurb seems to work in the same way as ISkoot - more info here - http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/mobile/ or skype.com/m on your mobile.

    Well I had a quick look at it there and it looks like ISkoot alright but with Skype branding and they have no Irish dial-in number set up yet so you won't be able to use it to make calls.

    Has messaging though which is an improvement over the Three client.

    Yeah, if there was some way to add the service number for Three we'd be laughing. Since it seems the number can be added later as skype roll out services I assume it is stored somewhere on the phone. Any Midlet experts out there have any idea where and how to look?

    Actually it is a jar file - nokian95.jar to be precise - I pulled apart the download mechanism to get at the jad file to see if the number was somehow being set there - optimistic I know.

    As for using Fring, yup it's a great little app but when I'm out and about and I need to do Skype voice unless you have a great HSDPA signal then Fring won't cut the mustard - in fact even with a great HSDPA signal you'll still have the latency issues.

    im not sure changing the number in the code would work, as im sure before the call is made, the user you wish to skype call is set on a server before you make a voice call to skype where they make the connection.

    The jar is obscured anyway. it would be really difficult to decompile the code inorder to change and r-ecompile it.

    Fring is alright but its just so slow to login to skype which is really annoying as sometimes it just seems to logout. Another annoying thing I find is that if you are talking to someone on fring and someone else rings you via your mobile number then you are disconnected from the fring call. Have been using Gizmo5 which integrates excellently with my N95 as it uses SIP but when I get people to set it up on their computers it would ring once or twice then go straight to their answering machines.

    Tis shítty with that new skype s60 that I cannot ring people on it - kinda useless then.

    Yeah, I kinda thought as much but know little about Midlets etc. I left a message about the idea on the Skype Community Forum anyway as it might encourage Three to get their finger out and update their client.
