Nokia have recently announced that they would be including the popular Voip package, Skype on newer range N series phones, including the N97.

This would seem to have upset a number of crriers, particularly in the UK. Engadget report that O2 and Orange are threatening not to stock the N97 unless Nokia strip out the Skype platform.

Given that you can download Skype for Mobile phones for free, this would seem to be a storm in a teacup, although we can see that from the operators point of view, many users would not make an effotr to find the software if it is not already installed.
