Nokia's N97 coming to 3 with free Skype calling - prepay too!

Remember the fuss when Nokia started bigging up the inclusion of Skype on the N97? While most networks will be ensuring Skype isn't installed on their versions, 3 is making a song and dance about it. Free Skype calls is one of its unique selling points!
From today, you can pre-order the N97 (in black) on 3 before it goes on sale tomorrow, Friday June 26th.
The phone has all the standard N97 applications, plus Skype with free Skype-to-Skype calling and Instant Messaging.
It will be free of charge on a £35-a-month contract or £320 on prepay - a price that is signficantly cheaper than the SIM-free price of £499 on the Nokia website. Of course, the handset is locked - but 3 is hoping you'll be happy with its network.
Every prepay top up brings 90 days of free voicemail, a free bundle of texts and 150MB of Internet usage. Contract customers can add unlimited Internet for £5 a month.
