I was going to say that I( like QIK better but if that is the case, it is moot.

Re: Pissed that verizon gets skype video app exclusivity on the new htc thunderbolt

Skype vs. Qik :::: I use Skype on my computer for video calls (they are free)computer to computer. It is flawless. On my EVO ,which came with Qik, The calls were bad. I either would loose sound or video. Having to push the button when I speak is a pain-whoever gets a call has to do this. I next tried Fling which worked better but still had bugs. I now use Tango which works best. I wanted Skype on my Evo because of the quality it has, at least on my computer. If Skype upgrades Qik to operate as good as Skype on a computer , then I want it. If Qik is still bad I will continue to wait for the Google voice call app. coming out.

Verizon has exclusive rights with Skype and until that "deal" ends, we won't see it officially..

It's like AT&T and iPhone...

Have not tried this yet but might work: Yahoo! Messenger updated for video calling, bugfixes aplenty | Android Central

Interesting. The option for video on the phone is grayed out with Yahoo. Did you have to do anything special to get it going?

EDIT: I suspect it is because I am trying to go EVO to Mac and Mac is not yet supported.
