What's the best app for video calls?

If I don't want to use Skype, what's the best was to make a video call?

I like the built in google talk.

That's what I was looking for. This forum is awesome.

If my daughter has Skype on her laptop at school, do I need to use Skype also or will GoogleTalk connect to her account? Thanks.

My wife has the verizon iPhone 4, anyone know if any of these will work with her face time thing?

Yes. If you use Tango or Fring they will allow you both to use the front facing camers for video calls. I use Fring all the time with my friends that have iphones, I like it better then tango!

I was able to Skype my brother's iPhone but only because he installed the Skype app.

Qik doesn't work with the Bionic. Either use Tango of Google Talk.

Out of curiosity, why do you not prefer Skype? I feel like it works great.

Your wife needs to install the vtok app (Vtok: Google talk video and text chat on your mobiles), which connects with Google Talk. I video chat with my wife via her iPad2 with me on my Epic 4G Touch. Works real guud.

It's just one more thing to sign up for/in to. If I can do through Google, I prefer that. I love the company and like sticking to it wherever I can.

I got everything working well in Google (using Google+ Hangouts as well as GTalk, but I noticed that the video from my phone is pretty crappy looking (pixilated and fuzzy). I know it's a much lower resolution camera than the rear facing, but I would guess that the cameras on an inexpensive laptop are also pretty low res even though the video image on the laptop looks pretty darn clear. So I'm wondering if there is any way to make the image coming from our Bionics look any better on whatever device they are sent to? If not...it is what it is and I still love the phone.

your going to either have to get the hacked skype apk or have her make a google account and just go to google.com/talk

Why is that?

So is there any way to improve the video that is sent from the Bionic? It's pretty fuzzy compared to the video that a cheap laptop sends on a video call.
