Cell phone bills can get expensive, so people try all kinds of things to keep talking without spending too much.  With the increase in capabilities in cell phones, VoIP is becoming a viable option.

Nokia and Skype are working together to build in Skype on certain Nokia cell phones.  The Nseries will feature Skype and it will be built into the phone’s contact manager.  The first phone to feature Skype pre-installed will e the N97. 

Nokia uses the Symbian S60 OS in its phones which should allow the application to run in the background so you can get your Skype calls on the go.  The app will run on both Wi-Fi and on 3G.

This is a cool little feature that should distinguish Nokia phones from others.  The current super-hot phone from Apple still does not allow background processes nor a native Skype application.  If you want to use Skype on that phone, you’ll have to use Fring and make sure you have the app open to send and receive Skype calls.
