About the new Qik video service on the Sprint EVO 4G phone

Well, there’re a number of rumors flying around that the 2-way Qik mobile video service will require a premium subscription. We wanted to clarify what that really means. Firstly, rest assured that the core Qik service that lets you communicate live from your phone to other phones, web and desktop will be FREE. Yes – this means that the core capability of doing 2-way Qik video chat will be FREE for Sprint EVO 4G users. The subscription fee will be for some advanced premium features that we are working on, which we will be announcing on June 4th – the day the amazing HTC EVO 4G phone launches.

So, tune back in on June 4th for a complete list of features of the new Qik along with the optional advanced premium features for you to enjoy!

    NOTE – HE IS A SPOKESPERSON FOR SPRINT PR AND POLICY…

    If you buy the Sprint 4G EVO, you have to pay this $10 charge each month. This is specific to the device. It's not related to whether you are using 3G or 4G. It is required if you have the phone.

    Because the phone has a faster processor, a huge 4.3 inch screen and an 8 megapixel camcorder/camera, we expect you will be using a lot more data than you would with our other devices. These features will give you capabilities that have previously never been available on a wireless device and we think they provide a premium experience. (Remember, this is the world's first 3G/4G Android phone.)

    AS IVE STATED BEFORE – 4G doesnt matter, its for 3G or 4G, but since all 3G phones are just as capable of using data as any other 3G phone – why would I pay $10 a month for “anticipation” of going to a 4G area? By the way, Sprint does not have a single 4G area in California that is live at this time! BOOYA!

    I just purchased the HTC EVO, which I think is a great phone, and I was messing with Qik earlier today to try and see how it works. I am getting errors and can not open the application. The error I am getting is “The application Qik (processcom.qikffc.android) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again”. Well I tried rebooting three times, removed the battery and I am still getting the error, any idea what is wrong?
