Publisher's description
From iSkoot :With iSkoot for Skype, you can make & receive Skype calls, chat, and use SkypeOut to call regular numbers anywhere in the world. And with our newly enhanced feature set, now you can easily place SkypeOut calls to anyone in your general address book, and enjoy cool new Skype chat features like emoticons and multi-party chat. What's really great about iSkoot: unlike other mobile Skype apps, iSkoot is a thin client - so it won't take up loads of memory or eat up your battery power.
Version 1.1.60 is optimized to minimize impact on your BlackBerry's battery and memory resources.

"Works well as a substitute when on the road"
Pros: iSkoot works great to be able to call or IM your Skype contacts without having to be online on the computer. The IM works well and all chat conversation histories are visible in the Skype chat logs on the computer. Calls are easy to make as well.

Summary: All in all a good substitute for Skype while on the road or traveling abroad. Well worth the price. I get more use out of the BB IM or my text messaging service than Skype IM on my Blackberry because of the problems I experience with the Skype call ... read more >>

Cons: Call clarity is somewhat muddled, takes a while to load contacts.
Summary: I like it because I can call my Skype contacts without being on a computer. The ability to be mobile and still keep in touch is excellent.
