So I’ve been playing around with Skype Symbian the past few days on my E90 and bar a few IM’s haven’t really used it so I couldn’t tell you anything about voice quality if you want to know about that check out this post I found. What did happen however was that in the two half-days I’ve had Skype running my battery has gone from full to 1 bar during one working day i.e eight hours. I’d blame it on the fact that my phone is almost two but the battery was replaced in January and was in getting serviced then too. I wonder how fast my battery would go down while I was in a call? It’s probably the 3G handling of the E90 that’s sucking my phone dry.. time to upgrade me thinks. Anyone else had similar problems?

Quite a battery hoarder I see. I’m thinking of getting Skype on my computer, now that it would be of some use to me.
The reason I wanted to write this time was to give you this link: http://robinhoodtax.org.uk/ I know neither of us is an expert in economics but I thought you might find the campaign interesting or appealing :)
Take care!
You don’t already have Skype? Shocking :D That robin hood tax is an interesting idea, would never happen the way they say though cos the banks would just add a transaction fee on top to pay the tax, the usual story, still the taxpayers paying even more tax :S

Is not the phone, I own the Nokia E71 and E72 and Skype just drains the battery, regardless if its 3G, 2G or Wifi. The next version of Skype for Symbian will be more battery friendly, I was told.
If the battery situation is solved, it would be so awesome, Skype on 3G quality is awesome, doesn’t use as much data as I thought.
Good to hear that it’s not just my mobile going all fuddy, thanks for the info. Lets hope that they update soon and we can all go skyping all day long.
I have been trying our rtx dualphone 3088 for a spell now and We have to proclaim you’ll find it a totally great bit of kit. see … this page
