It used to be that you had to be lucky enough to live in one of the eight countries of Hutchinson’s 3 network to use the “official” version of Skype on a 3 Skypephone handset.
That option is still there, but the world has gotten smaller again for those of us elsewhere, say in Elbonia. If you are a Skype user and have one of these 50 mobile handset models (more on the way), just go and download a client now. Presence, chat, Skype to Skype and SkypeOut calls — the works — land in your pocket.
I usally don’t replicate the official product announcements from Skype’s blog, but this specific one is definitely in the Top3 things my friends have asked for over the past years. So, please enjoy.
