Verizon's Skype App Hits BREW Feature Phones
Fake Skype
Maybe it's because Verizon Wireless's data network isn't fast enough. I don't know. But this arrangement is why the HTC Evo and Nexus One can't do Skype either.
So VZW smartphones + iPhone atm which is lame.
These calls are completely free. They don’t count towards your Verizon Wireless minutes allowance.
and international is dirt cheap monthly rate$
so why, and who cars if it runs through voip. For the consumer it is a great value either way.
I don't think I have ever read anything from you that was positive besides apple.
1) You need a voice plan to use Skype. (Fine for these dumbphones but bad for Android)
2) You can't Skype over WiFi if you have a poor VZW signal or are abroad.
3) Android users who aren't on VZW can't use Skype at all. I couldn't Skype on my Nexus One.
I've got Skype on my iPhone and it's killer. Voice quality over 3G is phenomenal, and I use it just like my regular phone.
I read this as more of a Verizon related article and not an article about how people with the evo and other androids are getting screwed.
I can't understand why they can't allow wifi usage on android and why they are now blocking Fring... but that is not what I took out of this articl...

I knew you could do it
Now... Screw Skype for blocking wifi on android, or at best not getting their lazy asses around to making it work
Skype for Android and these dumbphones isn't 'real' Skype. It's not like the iPhone client at all, which is true VOIP. You don't get the better call quality (it's like someone's in the room with you- it's freaky good) , you can't call over WiFi, and forget Video Chatting if it does ever come.
