Look for an app called IM+ for Skype.
IM+ for Skype :: Products (http://www.shapeservices.com/en/products/details.php?product=skype)
It's what I'm using.

Check the SKYPE website please. You will see there is no client for the BB. Also, given that the 8800 only operates on EDGE, you really don't have the bandwidth for a decent quality VoIP call, IMHO.

I use a free program called iSkoot. If you run a search I'm sure you will find it.

I have been thinking about installing this too; although not 100% clear on how it works and what additional charges I may incurr.

in my BB 8820 I have wifi so you can use it too.
