Nokia ships phones with Skype.

Nokia to begin shipping phones with Skype in 2010-2011.

Nokia, the world's leading mobile phone manufacturer, has announced it will sell devices with Skype software to make long distance calls over the Internet. The first unit of the Finnish brand that will integrate the application will be the N-97, belonging to the high end, as announced by the CEO of Skype, Josh Silverman.

The Skype application was created in 2003 by Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis Danish. The software lets you make calls over the Internet, using a mechanism very similar to instant messaging services of MSN Messenger. It is also possible to make calls from a computer fixed and mobile phones thanks to SkypeOut, but this service is not free.

From the beginning, the telephone companies were in a serious competitor to Skype, because their users pay little or nothing to make calls, often long distances. But Nokia has proposed approach it differently, offering it as a service. For them is based on the experiences of some telephone companies such as 3G, which have used the application to exploit the benefits of flat rate, leading to increase revenue by 20% among users of Skype.

Skype, with over 400 million registered users, warmly welcomes the agreement reached with Nokia: "When we partner with manufacturers can deliver a superior experience," according to Silverman. It is also possible to download the program to other mobile brand that does not bring integrated, but in this case, the applications will be more basic and less options.
