Way back in February 2009, before the N97 was released, Nokia and Skype announced a partnership - the fruits of which were supposed to include Skype integration across the N-Series range, starting with the N97:

The integrated Skype support was slated for release in Q3 2009. Well, the third quarter has come and gone and no sign of Skype. We are now in Q4 and the V20 firmware has apparently delivered the SIP stack - a prerequisite for Skype and other VoIP software.
Does anyone know if Skype is still coming to the N97? It was one of the only things (other than V20) that I was looking forward to as I am a big Skype user. Skype lite is ok, but the interface is nasty - another phone, named after a fruit has a native client...
