N97 would not be having Skype?


According to Tech Radar, it is possible that Nokia will have to abandon Skype and its latest smartphone N97. According to recent data, the leading mobile operators in Europe to the idea because it can deprive a large part of income. At this time, the famous Finnish company has not been able to persuade them to accept the plan. Moreover, O2 and Orange even said that they refuse to promote this model in your channels, if Nokia will supply it with Skype.

As stated by one of the largest networks of mobile communications in Britain in an interview with Mobile Today, Nokia is trying to create their own ecosystem, but the Finnish company did not take into account the interests of their partners (read mobile operators!), And as if she did not know that they spend about 40 mil. pounds a year on promoting their brands.

To be honest, network operators can be understood. If the N97 will come with Skype, then soon they will be nothing at all, in a word, yes horns legs! But the fact is that this smartphone supports Wi-Fi, as such networks are now at least. Given the fact that Nokia is very interested in good relations with operators, it would have to abandon Skype.
