A few weeks ago, Skype launched a Beta version of its software for Nokia phones. Now it's official. Skype has launched Skype for Symbian and it is now available for download at Nokia's Ovi app store.

The Skype software is capable of running on 200 million Nokia mobile phones and plans are in the works to get the software running on other non-Nokia Symbian-based phones.

The service offers free Skype-to-Skype calls anywhere in the world over WiFi and 3G. Users can get calls to their online numbers, share pictures and videos, and send instant messages to each other.

This last mobile move follows Skype's deal with Verizon to embed a seamless Skype application on certain phones in the carrier's lineup.
