I'm announcing a sign-up to Skype Lite for BlackBerry smartphones Closed Beta testing.
We will choose from people who have signed up a bunch of people who will became a closed beta testers for Skype Lite for BlackBerry smartphones.
We would like to have people with above average computer experience, who know what closed beta means and who are not afraid of possible bugs in the closed beta version of the application.
Everyone accepted to the Closed Beta testing will have to sign Non-Disclosure agreement with Skype.
Sign-up has been closed, due to extensive amount of sign-ups.

Great news! I've signed up for the closed Beta testing - let's hope I get chosen to be part of the group.
I used Skype on my old HTC, and I've really missed since I've had my BlackBerry Curve, so this development is most welcome!

I know you have closed the Beta .. If you are interested, I'd be happy to test. Have worked on quite a few BB's from the 6xxx days. I've also provided some great feedback for BB apps that deal with VoIP to UI & testing on the bb hh. I can assist with testing on a variety of 9xxx or 8xxx GSM & CDMA handhelds. Cheers,
Let me know how I can help. Regards,

I hope I get an invitation and can help Skype iron the bugs to a full commercial Skype application for Blackberry.

Hi,
I have been using iSkoot in the past and for a year and a half I have been using Nimbuzz (which I really love) on a daily basis. I need to make int'l calls from my BB Pearl (soon to be a Curve) almost every day so I would really love to be picked as a private beta tester.
Thx in advance.
Go Skype, Go free VoIP calls on mobile!

Hello,
It have been waiting for too long to try skype on my BlackBerry Bold. I have been with skype for too long now. I am looking forwards to try BlackBerry Closed Beta. I used skype most of the time for calling international and it would be nice to use it on my smartphone.
It would make my business and my life easy than ever.
Thank you Skype for the new app.

All these millions of dollars that's skype make everyday, they can't afford paying for somone to develop a skype client for bb 9000? And what after all the waiting we end up with app that can only be used for chat? And dial out using local numbers instead of using wifi or data, isn't skype suppozed to be a voip app? So what you realising is chat app which is uselessss, that other peoples realesed ages ago and you guys just started to release Beta and for few peoples to test it.. I believe blackberry should be the first handset to release skype client for it cause that's the only handset to be used for business . Wouldn't be nice to have a landline number running on the BB? Why for nokia u skype come prereleased?

Please, do not forget to support WI-FI connections, I mean this because there are a lot of main stream programs for blackberry that don't support and it is awful. Like GMaps, GMail, Viigo..... and it is so easy to implement.
