    Have you tried IM+ ? That was how I was able to get Skype on my Palm Pre, but it was not an always live connection and was more of a pain to use. Hopefully their BB App is better, though I haven't tried it out yet.

    Skype is only available for Verizon Blackberry users.

    It's ridiculous... but sadly, true.

    Why is it only available for Verizon? It doesn't make any sense. Skype should be allowed on all BB devices! so ****e tbh.

    It's called MONEY.

    Verizon gave more of it to Skype than anyone else, so Verizon has an exclusive.

    Yup. Skype signed an exclusivity deal with Verizon.

    Plus, Skype on BB isn't true VOIP. It calls into Verizon's network, then communicates digitally. So the software is set up to use Verizon's cellular network (instead of wifi), which is why they have the exclusivity agreement.

    If you want and need Skype, buy an iPhone.
