Are all Java Enabled phones Skype Compatible?

    I have a Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N95 which I have modded and hacked up to the hilt with everything I want it to do. I use it all too, so it isn't just a waste of money in my pocket. It is well used and abused, from the Wi-Fi, through the GPS, the Gravity Sensor and the Camera. The wife however has a pants phone, and that was second hand when it came.

    Needless to say, now it is time for me to treat her to something a little more upmarket. I am looking at getting her an iPhone, and maybe myself funds permitting. I want to join the 3 network. I have been on O2 (NYSE: TEF) for quite some time, but the coverage in my new hometown is weak. The free Skype-to-Skype calls on 3 is tempting.

    With free Internet Allowance (3G Packet Data I assume) it has free Skype. So is every Java Enabled phone compatible with Skype? My assumptions lead me to think that the only reason Skype Calls are free on 3 is due to the Internet Allowance being free. Skype would use this connection to the net for it to function, so it is only based on the Sim Cards access to the internet and not to a designated 3 Skype mobile.

    I certainly do NOT want to buy a half-arsed phone in lieu of an iPhone for he just to get Skype.

    So, are my assumptions correct? Any Java Enabled mobile can run Skype??

    This launch builds on successful public testing last year and the incorporation of user feedback to an earlier beta version which was only available on a limited number of mobile devices. The updated beta now makes Skype software broadly available to millions of mobile users worldwide, including for the first time, mobile users in the U.S. The lite version delivers core Skype capabilities including:

    * Make Skype-to-Skype calls to other Skype users anywhere in the world
    * Send/receive instant messages to/from individuals or groups
    * Make Skype calls at low rates to people on landline or mobile phones
    * Receive calls to your online personal phone number on Skype
    * See when your Skype contacts are online/available to chat
