After looking at http://www.bbin.in/en/2010/06/sip-blackberry-blackvoib-beta/ there should be SIP apps or mVoip apps for BlackBerry

One more – http://www.bbin.in/en/2010/12/fgvoip-for-blackberry-for-sip-clients/

I just hit the Market on my Nexus One and grabbed the download. For some reason, I thought it was still a VZ exclusive. Thanks!

Although, for me, Skype works over WiFi only. Maybe the Verizon version works over 3G. I know my wife’s iPhone version does work over 3G.

But the app is also available on iOS devices (even those without carriers, such as Wi-Fi devices) and Symbian. Would love to see the U.S. exclusivity between Skype – Verizon for Android go away though — hopefully before Google integrates video chat through Google Talk, which is native to Android 3.0 / Honeycomb.

Today, it’s only available on BlackBerries with Verizon.

Those numbers still put it far behind Skype, which this week hit a new record of up to 27 million users online at any moment and recorded 6.4 billion minutes of calls to landlines and mobiles in the first half of 2010″

comparing Rebtel revenue with skype users!! most skype users bring no revenue and will continue so..
