We covered the initial Skype for Symbian App when it was made available back in December – see Skype for Symbian Beta Available Now – and now the Skype App for Nokia smartphones has been released and is available via the Ovi Store.

The Skype for Symbian App, which is available now as a free download, supports Nokia smartphones using the Symbian ^1 platform and offers all the features you’d expect from a Skype application such as support for Skype calls and instant messaging as well as the sending and receiving of pictures, videos and other files whilst setting it up is eased thanks to the app offering the importing of names and numbers from your phone’s address book.

“Symbian enables us to bring smartphones to more and more people and ensures scale for our solutions and compelling services, such as Skype. We’re seeing around 1.5 million downloads a day on Ovi Store now and believe that the Skype client for Nokia smartphones will have wide appeal to Symbian users,” said Jo Harlow, Senior Vice President for Smartphones, Nokia.
