Do we have an idea when Skype with video capabilities will be available for the EVO 3D?

It should be... The app is available on the Android Market and the EVO 3D has a front facing camera... So I don't see why it would not be able to run the software.

@AZTECHKA, thank you for your constructive input.
Does anybody have Skype on the EVO … and is the video chat working?

I haven't tried Skype but I know Fring works wonderfully on my Evo. Also, throw him a thanks if he helped you out at all

You are right….@CarlaDarla …. My profile showed that I had the evo and the shift… not sure where that came from…
@AZTECHKA I am thankful for anybody who takes time to help an n00b like me to transition form Windoze to Droid ;=)

Oh....Fring… don’t really care so much about what name is on the APP… if it works good I’ll go with that….

Yea, it works great for me. It also goes cross-platform as well. It's a winner in my book.

no, skype still does not support video calling....originally Fring supported video calling to skype, but they killed it...last I heard it still didn't work, but I havent tried lately....maybe Carla can elaborate...

The latest Google Talk now supports video chat, though I havent used it yet.

I thought the Android has a built in video program and it can talk to any Sprint customer that has a camera and iphone too. I saw a demo at the T-mobile store.

I only call other people using Fring so I am not sure about the Skype thing. I only use it on the PC. Also haven't tried the GV thing yet simply because I don't use it on my phone.

You saw a demo of a Sprint phone in a T-Mobile store? I would help if I could but I use an AOSP Rom with nothing but the basics installed out of the box. I haven't used anything Sense/Sprint related in a very long time so I can't remember what is included/not included. OMJ would know though.
