    For now. I guarantee they relax that restriction once the protocol and codec are sufficiently tweaked and tested and vetted for use over 3g/4g(when applicable) networks.
    Skype video on the EVO via 4g is okay, but the overall quality and experience is borderline acceptable for day-to-day video calling.

      I tried out the Face Time with my co-worker, and it works good on the WiFi. But even at 20 mbps, the iPhone really keeps the resolution low so the bandwidth isn't as bad. Not a true 30 fps, but still decent for the most part. I think Apple made it look better than it really is in their advertisement.

      I did record some videos in 320p and they looked really good on the phone. They still looked good when I sent them as a MMS to other people (T-mobile iPhone 3G user, Verizon BB user, Verizon flip-phone user, Sprint Moto flip-phone, etc).


      I took this pic earlier, holding my Blackberry and taking a picture with my crack-shaking hands

        Are you giving the iPhone a thumbs down? Haha.

          Have you guys seen the complaints on MacRumors about the defective screens that have yellow hues and spots? Or the fact that with the OS 4 update iPhones have poor reception when they're being held by the user.

          Either way I'm still getting one tomorrow!

                Uhh not really, it's real.

                Yellow Spots from Engadget

                Out, damned spot! out, I say! One; two: why, then, 'tis time to do 't. Hell is murky! Fie, my lord, fie! Reports are coming in from some of those lucky early iPhone 4 users that there may exist a not-so-lucky yellow coloration in the bottom right corner of the IPS LCD. We haven't seen this ourselves on any new iPhones, but maybe you've had different experiences. Tell us, is your iPhone 4 seeing yellow? Update: As a number of readers have pointed out, there seems to be an issue with how many bars are displayed on screen -- perhaps even a correlation to how it's being held in the hand. According to Walt Mossberg's review, Apple has acknowledged the issue as something that has to do with "the way the bars are presented, not the actual ability to make a call," and that a fix is forthcoming. Indeed, as noted in our review, we've had "far, far fewer dropped calls than we experienced on our 3GS." We're not seeing very many videos showing more dropped call, but the bar change is interesting. Still, to be sure, we're adding another poll. Update 2: Our iPhone 4 purchased in Japan has a pale yellow bar along then entire bottom edge. Picture after the break.%Poll-48460% %Poll-48475% [Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

                  OK I'll say it. The biggest reason for me wanting to upgrade from 3GS to 4 is that my porn quality will be better with the newer camera. Too bad I have to wait till I can upgrade at not as much of a butt f*** price.

                  Geez, I can be so crude sometimes.

                    Oh yeah, one more thing. The new iPhone does not support 4G. Its only the iPhone 4 because it runs iOS4. Its actually not much different from the 3GS. When a 4G iPhone comes out you can count on it being called the iPhone 4G.

                        I'm aware of that, that's why I put the (when applicable) in there.
                        In all reality, what Sprint is currently pushing as 4g isn't really true 4g anyways, so its gonna take a little time for true 4g propagation in any areas besides the major metros...


                        oh, and I just received my iPhone, so far its very nice!

                            When applicable does not apply to the iPhone 4 since the hardware physically cannot support 4G. I am also quite aware that Sprints WiMax isn't truly 4G, they actually had the standard changed so that they could use the "4G" name.

                              no **** sherlock...do you really think they won't release a 4g phone once *whichever* carriers they do or do not work with have one available?
