I need skype too but dont know enough to take the risk with rooting the phone. I wish Verizon would come out with the necessary updates to run skype with video. It is so frustrating to mee to see the picture of the thunderbolt on the 'Skype for Android' page but know that it doesn't work at all. I got this phone on the first day it was out specifically because i was read that it was going to be able to do skype with video. Now, barely 4 months later there is still no official skype for this phone and it seems like thunderbolt owners will be the last to get Gingerbread, if at all. :'(If you haven't read this post yet, you'll want to.
