Wow they say it supports Skype chat. I'll try this out.

[BravoZuluDelta]

Finally a free Skype client? I've just installed it; Skype contacts show up but they're all offline (sleeping) so I can't test yet.

How do you send message on skype?

Assuming you have added the account already, just click on the contact name.

One of my contacts came online and I can confirm that Skype messaging works and synchronises with my desktop Skype. Haven't tried calling yet.

EDIT: Looks like it only supports the Skype messaging protocol, no calling features yet. Unless someone can tell me how to call someone.

There is no send button?

Missing: integration with BB profiles, message pop-up options, contact online alerts, sending photos.

Trying this out. I like their web app version.

[SCrid2000]

Eh, needs facebook.

IMO.IM version 1.01 available. The upgrade solves the problem connecting over cellular network.
Can download it form the link given by OP

Eh, needs facebook.

It has Facebook chat.

[mtint]

Just found version 1.0.3 available. Suspect some bug fixes - haven't noticed any functionality changes.

installed two days back. seems battey consumption high.

[mtint]

Noticed the battery drain as well. Usually my phone discharges at the rate of 0.1%/h when in standbay, but with IMO.IM keeps at least 1.5%/h

I was using 1.03 fine. But after upgrading to 1.04 (email from imo.im) having problems:

1. very hard to get connected to imo.im server

2. system hang

3. suspect high data access and battery usages.

so stay with 1.03

Anyway I have flashed my OS to #650 and will try again later.

Send feedback to developers. With 1.0.0 having problems not able to connect to cell network, sent them feedback on their website, and in about 36h they responded and was ready with new versiin.

Anyone else confirm the high battery usage? Wondering if it's higher than the Google Talk app from RIM...

[Blacklac]

i sent feedback through the App, but I am not getting sound notifications since 1.0.4 and this App really needs PUSH!

Love the App and hope they also make a Playbook version!

[mtint]

Me also very excited IMO.IM, as it is my preferred app on iOS and Android for Skype and Google chat, came to BlackBerry and hoping to see it soon on PlayBook.

Hoping the guys at IMO will get final release soon and will offer push as well.

If im only connected via Cell service, my connection arrows are CONSTANTLY going (only with this App open), so I would assume this App would absolutely kill my battery in a couple hours. Strange that on Wifi this doesn't happen...

I really want to use this App, but it still needs some work. Trying to convince my iOS/Android friends to use this and lower their text plans. The BB App seems furthest behind, it seems.
