Skype has released a beta version of its services for the mobile phone.

The mobile "thin" client works on about 50 of the most popular Java-enabled mobile phones from Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson.

The beta version of Skype for mobiles is available worldwide with a feature set that includes chat, group chat, presence (seeing when contacts are online), and receiving calls from Skype users, and through SkypeIn. Additional features, which include the making of Skype-to-Skype and SkypeOut calls from the mobile handsets, are initially supported in seven markets: Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
