Thanx lots!


What about download for IM+ and iSkoot so we can try it out?
IM+ is the one I would recommend out of the two if you want to try one now.
P.S. iSkoot dials a landline number to make a connection to the Skype network.

Yes...we found that link...unfortunatly it says that skype is staring in beta-mode now; and directly says SKYPE CHAT.  So I don't know if it will permit Skype Talk.

Have u tried it?

I guess the bottomline is cost.  IM+ has  tag for $30 buck and in one of your link I read that Skype will be out soon for Blackberry.  

Do you know if the version for Skype for this unit will be for free?

Do you know when its going to be available?

Thanx
