Default Skype

I came from the tp2 and skype is one the apps I used a lot. I went to the market and I couldn't find it, then went to skype site to download it and they don't support this phone yet.

Have someone found a way to get skype?

Thanks in advance

Give it time 2-3 months or maybe one more beta, it is still in pretty deep beta. But no doubt the Epic will get priority because it is designed for specifically that. I would search the Skype forums.

Right now there's no real way to use Skype with an official client on the Epic without a lot of work, but you can use Skype through Nimbuzz, which is free on the market.

IM+ worked perfectly on my blackberry the last 4yrs and they have a droid client free & paid. But, it doesnt appear to connect to Skype since I have been trying it.

Besides, the droid is a rough beta compared to the look, feel and behavior of the rim version....

I believe the Verizon exclusive partnership with Skype is holding things up at this point.

Is there any stable Skype chat 3rd party client out there, i can wait for video chat by stressing Qik...

PeAce!

Thanks dude, keep us updated cause I want it bad also and it could be a big block buster item that will propel this system.

Has anyone here got Google Talk to perform video chat on the phone?
We could only get video and no sound between two laptops yesterday with GT.
