First Skype Video Call

[stirling]

I just wrapped up my first Skype video call on the Flyer, and I'm pretty impressed. Call quality was excellent, and there weren't any orientation problems. In fact the only problem I had was trying to get the Rocketfish cover I got at Best Buy to prop it up. The case offers good protection, but I'm not happy with the way it props up the Flyer, or it's lack of pen storage.

I was looking at the Rocketfish case also but had the same complaints as you. Instead went to the local Sprint store and bought the HTC case for the View 4G.

Crap...I never thought of that. Looks pretty snazzy, too...

Amazon has that same (or very similar looking) case for $10

Wait, really? I can't seem to get mine to flip right side up (it's sideways). How'd you do it?

I didn't do anything special, other than running the most current version of Skype in the Market. It rotates really well, and I didn't have any issues.

Weird. I can't get mine to work properly. Anyone have any suggestions?

How did you download Skype from the Market? I have the WiFi only HTC Flyer (Best Buy) and Skype doesn't even show up as a download--it seems to be filtered out for some reason. I had to install Vtok instead.

That's the same Flyer I have. I just checked and Skype is showing up for me in both the Android Market, and the Amazon one. Maybe check in the Amazon Market..
