No Skype client for it yet, despite it being > an android. 3 brochure states that Skype is on it. Also on 3 website it says: "... you get free SkypeT-to-Skype calls and free Windows LiveT Messenger on the Samsung Galaxy S, only on Three. As far as I know 3 have Skype on all their phones (except BackBerrys) How would you rate it against HTC Desire in terms of my needs? divoch |
