Only new Verizon android phones, if I understand correctly.


verizon is the only one pushing out big new android phones right now, though, iirc.


The HTC EVO is Sprint and is probably one of the most widely known new android phones.


it is, but it has been on the market for almost 6 months. verizon is pushing out the new, heavily marketed phones right now.


Eh? The Evo was release June 4th, a hair over two months ago.

Also, two Galaxy S phones were released in mid-July, less than one month ago.


really? crap, i must've misread something then. my fault. looks like you can use skype on most android phones anyway, though, just not as easily/freely as on verizon.

regardless, though, i think my original point still stands. skype hasn't been stagnant, they're making some moves.


> looks like you can use skype on most android phones anyway, though, just not as easily/freely as on verizon.

Serious question: any idea how? Everything I've read says it's limited to Verizon handsets, even when trying to install the .apk manually. I'd love to have Skype on my Vibrant.


supposedly, there are some third party apps out there that provide skype services, like nimbuzz.
