Skype mobile is not available for your phone
Skype mobile was officially released today for Verizon Wireless customers. According to Skype’s official website, you can use Skype mobile with Blackberry (Tour 9630, Storm2 9550, Storm 9530, 8830, Curve 8530, and Curve 8330) or Android (Motorola DROID, HTC DROID ERIS, and Motorola Devour). I went to their website to download it on my Blackberry Storm 9530 running v5.0.0.328 on Verizon, I had to provide my phone number to get the download link via SMS, which seemed to be the only available way. A minute later I received the following SMS “Click this link to download Skype: http://www.skype.com/m?phone=<phonenumber>. Or type skype.com/m into your phone’s browser”. Oh thanks for telling me that I can download it without giving you my phone number! Anyway, I opened the URL and…… SuRpRiSE “skype mobile is not available for your phone”. WTF I thought my phone is supported? Yes and no.. Apparently they have a problem with the download page and everyone is getting the “skype mobile is not available for your phone” message, see this page. So my phone is supported, its just that I can’t download the damn thing! Your shit is weak Skype!
