Verizon Wireless has announced that the Skype mobile application for smartphones will be available starting tomorrow on March 25.
As previously reported, the Skype mobile application will offer free Skype-to-Skype calling over Verizon’s CDMA network, in addition to cheaper international calls. Interested customers will need a compatible Verizon Wireless smartphone and data plan to use Skype mobile.
Skype-to-Skype calls will not be charged against monthly rate plans or data plans. Skype mobile will initially be available for the BlackBerry Storm 9530, Storm2 9550, Curve 8330, Curve 8530, 8830 World Edition, and Tour 9630, as well as the Motorola Droid, Devour and HTC Eris.

Skype is really embracing the opposite of the google mantra ” Don’t be evil”.
First they enter into all these exclusives like HQ video only on select logitech devices and skype for android and blackberry ONLY on verizon. What about all the other 6 billion people on earth who do not live in the USA and DO NOT have Verizon. Skype should try to appeal to as many users as possible, instead they are slowly going to push people towards google’s upcoming relaunch of gizmo project when it hits. Even worse they pulled their windows mobile and java apps. Why not just say they will no longer be developed, why do they have to pull it.
Who cares about skype-Bring on Google and the new HTC Evo and forget about skype.
Skype is an extremely useful app for calling people overseas. Skype is coming to android, just only on verizon phones. I’m sure it will be ripped and freely disturbed to everyone as soon as its released.
