IM+ For Skype, or iSkoot.
Neither of these are rumors despite your thread being in the Rumor Mill.

There is no true SKYPE client for the BB. Plus if you are on EDGE, you won't have the bandwidth to support good quality voice even if there was a client.

I use iskoot to call my folks in the Virgin Islands. It works without a hitch and it uses my skypeout account. Very useful.

It's probably easier to just create a Skypeout account and add the free Skype-to-go option then use that to make international calls. Hey, if you are on Tmob you can set the Skype-to-go number as one of your 5 favs and make unlimited calls using Skype. I've been doing it for months until I got the unlimited plan with Tmob, now I just use the Skype-to-go for international. I call Israel for $0.02 a minute...can't beat that.
