Skype is coming to SymbianWay back in April Skype team announced the first beta of Skype mobile and today it gets its first update and now it is available as the BETA 2.
'Skype for your mobile' Beta 2 encompasses a number of improvements but if you expecting the native Symbian application you’ll be disappointed once again!
Mobile Skype client is still only available as the java application which is optimized to be compatible with most of the Java enabled phones and therefore it is not the best possible solution for the powerful S60 devices.
Although it is not a native Symbian application, it works just fine, looks pretty good and functionality isn’t affected. With Skype on your mobile phone you can make calls to anyone on Skype while you're going about your daily, on the bus, queuing for tickets, sunbathing in your back garden.
Contacts in your pocket
With your Skype contacts on your mobile, you’ll always know when your friends are online. Call them from the bus, check their presence from the park, or send an instant message while you’re sipping a latte in your favourite coffee shop – wherever they are in the world.

Talk or instant message
You can call or instant message any of your contacts who are using Skype on their computer or mobile device, including the 3 Skypephone. You can even start a group chat just like you would on your computer, so you can organise party plans from the comfort of your couch or co-ordinate fancy dress direct from the costume shop.
Will it work in my country?
In this beta version, anyone can receive calls, instant message and see who’s online. If you want to call phones, mobiles, or any of your Skype contacts, this is limited to people in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro & Sao Paulo), Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Sweden and UK.

I just get it but haven't finished testing Skype for your mobile yet, I am in the office at the moment and it is pretty hectic here so I can’t really test it out but I expect that first user opinion will appears over at forum section shortly.
