Using Skype on Blackberry

Locked

Hi everyone. Is it possible to install Skype on a Blackberry device? My boss wants to start using Skype for international calls, but wants to continue using his blackberry to pick up e-mails, and doesn’t want to carry around two handsets with him.

#1 The BlackBerry would have to be using the same mobile phone network as the Skypephone presently does.

#2 I’m not aware of a mobile solution for Skype other than that installed on the Skyphone.

A sort of Double-Whammy if you will. 😉

skype is currently only available on the “3” network – they have the software in their mobiles to use it.

also, O2 are currently the only ones running blackberries as an ISP.

so, unless you cross 3 with o2, making 5, I think your boss needs to think again!

(if you invent a skyping blackberry, I’m your tester, ok? :p )
