    Erm… no you won’t… to any of the above… I am one of many Skype users that downloaded the latest version to my Nokia N8 and it can barely conduct a IM over a wifi connection – let alone a voice call and there is absolutely no support for video calling. If people try to call me they get told I can only recieve IM’s and whenever I try a voip I get “Call Failed” Despite many postings on Skype there is still no official response as to why so many of us cannot get Skype to work – or what they are going to do about it. Don’t waste your time – find something else
