Skype For Sony Ericsson

There are quite many Java applications for messengers like: Yahoo!, ICQ, MSN, Google Talk, AIM, Jabber and e.t.c. Of course those applications are for any J2ME enabled phone and not only for smartphones. But what about Skype?

As we know there is no problem with Skype for Symbian UIQ3 devices. We can find Skype client for UIQ on Sony Ericsson's official website, in the software category (Fun & Downloads). The little application is called iSkoot, which we can download and use it without any problems. However, what about standard J2ME enabled phones? Moreover, as we know, most of the Sony Ericsson handsets are from this list.

One may think that we must have smartphones to use that brilliant messenger and there is no Skype for Sony Ericsson J2ME phones. But wait a second. Not only does a Skype client for J2ME phones exist but we even have a choice here.

So let's have a quick look at some of the Java applications for J2ME Sony Ericsson handsets that can be used with Skype.

Let's start from
