Nimbuzz and fring will both log into your Skype account. I haven't tried making a video call over fring yet, but the phone and chat functions work just fine. Skype has announced that they are going to release an Android application, just not when (I'd bet before the end of the Summer). I...

I've had Sprint since 2002 and for the most part my service has been great. I rarely get dropped calls. I actually had two the first day I got my EVO, which is more than I usually get in a couple of months, but haven't had any since. Their 3G data network has always been consistently fast...

I hope Sprint releases the sales numbers. I'd love to see how many sold.

Wow, I guess I'm glad I got to the Union St store when I did. I was 13th in line at a quarter to eight. By the time I left, there were easily 40 people in there.

the lady who helped me out this morning told me that the Sprint sales software wasn't recognizing the new sales codes (for 4G and the Hotspot). It took a while to get everything sorted out (which included a call to their main tech support), but everyone at the store was very patient. I'm not...

I activated the hotspot on my phone. I have a USB modem already. Now that I've seen how much faster 4G is (it's great in Seattle!), I'm going to ditch the card altogether. My phone bill may have gone up $40 (4G charge and the hotspot), but overall, I'll be saving $20.

I'm having the same problem, though this is my first Android device, so I could be doing something wrong. I installed the program from Appbrain, but when I try and sync, I don't see any of the apps that I selected on their website. I clicked on all of them to install, but nothing shows up. Am...

It took me about an hour at the Sprint store (after my name was called) to get my phone. Apparently the system kept locking up every time the sales woman tried to enter in the 4G service (or the hotspot option). She finally had to call it in to tech support and have them do it. She was great...

I'm sitting across the street from the Sprint store in a Starbucks (since it's raining). So far, no line out front. I think I'll just walk over at 7:55. Hopefully I'll have my EVO in hand in less than an hour from now.

I'm only a few short hours from my first Android device (yay EVO!). Forgive me if this has already been addresses ad nauseam. Is there a good music player for Android phones that will handle DMR content (specifically songs purchased on iTunes)? Thanks.

The Sprint store opens up at 8:00. I'll be down at the coffee shop across the street at 7:00. If a line forms, I'll head on over. If not, I'll just walk over at 8:00. Either way, I hope to have the phone in hand shortly after.

I've used Sprint and Google over the last couple of years. My vote is for Sprint. In my experience, it has always been more accurate (I don't know how many times Google as led me astray or to a business that has been closed for a year). I've also found it to be more forgiving when typing in...

The quality of your video output is going to be largely affected by the quality of your video content. A compressed youtube video is going to look bad when you blow it up. The true test of the Evo will be to rip a DVD and play the file back. I don't expect it to blow expensive blue ray...

Won't happen, at least not anytime soon. Skype signed an exclusive deal with Verizon. I'm quite bummed about that since I used Skype all of the time. Perhaps it is time to look for a new VOIP service.

I'm not eligible for an upgrade as I got my Pre in October, but I'll be down at the Sprint store first thing in the morning to pick one up. It may be a lot of money to drop on a phone (out of contract), but I also have a USB card for my laptop. If the hotspot works as advertised, I can drop...
