    there is an iskoot client available for symbian S60 OS9.1 but it will only be available on x-series plan from 3. Windows mobile phones have skype clients.
    You can use a skype varient on E61 but its a little more complicated and needs wifi as opposed to 3G signal. (You would be robbed blind on data plan anyway).
    So E61 voip is possible and usable though its not skype.
    check out eseries.org or other E61 blogs for details.

    Does anybody know if there is an i-mode client for S60 phones like the E61?

    installed it the other day and rang a friend back in dublin from my n73 using my skype log in to his skype id. call went through fine, he said i was hard to hear but it did go through :)

    need to mess around with it more, but seems to have promise.
