Users of Nokia Lumia 610 would no longer be able to download Skype Windows Phone version from Window Phone Marketplace.
Here’s the statement from Nokia China via WMPoweruser:
“Nokia values the user experience provided by its products and services. Therefore, although the Skype Windows Phone version is workable on Nokia Lumia 610, after in-depth testing, we found that the user experience is not up to par with Nokia and Skype’s expectation and decided not recommending users using Skype on Nokia Lumia 610. In the future, users of Nokia Lumia 610 would no longer be able to download Skype Windows Phone version from Window Phone Marketplace. However, Skype Windows Phone version would still be available for other users.”
This came about after Skype announced that it won’t support Skype for Windows Phone on devices with 256MB RAM. Nokia, initially saying that its “OK” later realized that indeed there will be problems.
