Skype has made a decision in the United States to not promote the Skype for Symbian app through the Ovi Store. They did this so that they could drive more attention to the recently announced Skype and Verizon Wireless agreement (this was a marketing decision). Skype users in the U.S can still download the Symbian app version by going directly to Skype.com.

WomWorldNokia will be holding a Roundtable Session on Ovi and I will represent DailyMobile.  It would be great to have some feedback, questions or views you have on your experience with Ovi and its applications such as Ovi Mail, Ovi Store, Ovi Music, Ovi Maps, etc.  For example, do you have an older symbian handset and wonder why your maps do not have free voice guidance?  With the near death of N-gage, are the Ovi games up to par?  Is the Ovi Store an improvement on the previous Download Option?  What improvements have you enjoyed at the Ovi Store?  Is Ovi Mail the winning carrier for you?  Is there something missing from the Ovi services on offer?  Add your interests via the comments option for this topic.

Nokia has released a pocketful of statistics in respects of their Ovi app store as at end of February.
