I see that most of you who posted here are also Storm 2 (9550) owners. Did anyone have trouble installing this new version of Skype? My older version was working fine but as soon as I installed this new version I can no longer get Skype to even load on my phone. I have tried unstalling, re-installing, over and over again (4 times now). I have even been on the phone with Verizon tech support (what a bunch of useless individuals) with no help there.

Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

on my Storm 2 (Verizon) i get a message saying that Skype is unavailable for my mobile. Already using the previous version, any ideas why it won't let me download the new one?

I had the same problem, posted on multiple blogs, contacted Verizon, RIM and Skype, no answer or "contact the other party".

I had to completely rebuild my system by wiping the old one and with clean install of new system and my apps one by one. All restore attempts had failed. Sorry.

I transferred my Tour setup into Bold 9650.

I'd not update Skype if it was not originally installed on your BB and was transferred from another device, it doesn't worth the risk; changes area minimal even from the original version.

I have the same problem on my Bold 9650...I think it might be that my new (official) OS 6 from Verizon isnt accepted yet.

When I called Verizon they told me this update did not work on the .1015 OS for the 9550. However, I told them I was not even running that version because of all the other bugs and they had no answer.

Does anyone know where I can find a link to the older version of the Skype moble software? Obviously Verizon was not able to provide that.

I am running .1015 OS on my storm2. I did not seem to have an issue installing this. Good Luck.

I tried to download Skype to my Verizon 9650 OS 5.0.0.975 from the link that Reed posted and got the same results others have reported, "Skype isn't available for your phone." But at the bottom of that screen was a prompt to install Skype on another phone. I clicked that, it offered Skype for the 9650, I installed it, and it worked perfectly. I think the bug is just with their automatic model detection code.

Does it actually work? I have been able to get the software "installed" but it will not open. It even shows running when I go to switch applications.

I have tried EVERYTHING!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!

If you changed devices and used "restore"function to preserve your settings on your new BB, you may have to do a clean install of the OS and then install latest Skype in order for it to work.

Otherwise, wipe your device and go back to your previous backup and restore it from there. That way you can keep your old skype working.
