Here's a review from someone who installed it onto Nokia 5800

• The UI works very well on my 5800 and it does support touch screen. However, first, I can't get the voice to work, neither incomiing or outgoing; second, I have unilimted world subscription, but the app does not reconigze this, it keeps saying I don't have skypeout credits; Third, when I press the green key on the phone in the App, it will use skype to call directly, it's great, but it has a bug which will ativate the phone's dial pad also; Fourth, the setting option desn't seem to be working.
