What if Skype comes in the future? Will you support those who did not support "us"?
So let's that Skype won't be there on launch which sounds like the case. What if it shows up 4 months or 6 months down the road... will you support Skype when they did not support "us"?
Side note: After using BBM voice, the quality is 100x better imo. Add desktop support and we're headed in the right direction.
Thanks in advance for the responses.

I still like using Skype and will continue to do so even if its not launched on BlackBerry 10. M$ doesn't want to give RIM any better chance of success. I think eventually M$ will ruin Skype with tactics like this and a truly cross platform video service will emerge a winner.
Btw Skype will have a web app that should work on BB10.

That will prove that BB 10 is a success and has become too important of a platform to ignore if Skype comes along with other skeptical big app devs. Skype or not, BB 10 needs truly excellent Voip feature. BBM Voice is a good start, but need to go much farther.

Disagree. Although I wouldn't fall into the they-didn't-support-us camp, fact is that people take things personally and it's not stupid. A business, on the other hand, should not take things personally, as you stated: "business... needs to do what... will make the company money." People, however, are not businesses. They have emotion and attachment. The latter being very important to RIM.
So no, it's not stupid. It's a valid question based on legitimate emotions that exist for many people.

RIM pulled that BS with the PlayBook too. Shady thing to do.

By the time Skype comes to BB10 and if it ever comes to BB10, I'll already be using Face Flow with my Family and Friends.

Only reason I could come up with is to help with that third place they want. Allow the service to all but your closest rival.
