As a user of several different platforms, N770, U3 as well as laptop & desktop PCs I’ve found Pidgin to be very helpful as it allows me to communicate still using my Windows Live Messenger account.

Business wise a number of my contacts use Skype, so ideally to make my presence visible those people having Pidgin and Skype integrated would be perfect.  well I’ve found something at http://www.imessengr.com/2007/11/skype-plugin-for-pidgin-gaim-and-adium.html that may well do the trick.
