We don't all live in the US.

I did get a HD2 on contract, it was awful, truly unbearable to use. I loved the hardware and feel, but the OS, stupid battery life and mediocre touch made it a truly abysmal experience. The announcement of no WP7 upgrade was the final nail, I returned it within the trial period and cancelled contract, quite disappointed. :(]]>Jun 7th 2010 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Troll. I bet you dont even or have never owned an HD2. There are hardly any complaints. Battery life is as good as it gets on a phone that has a 1Ghz processor from its time. This is the only phone to actually support winmo OS to its full potential.]]>Jun 7th 2010 10:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/

Also what is up with video conferencing as a selling point, that has been around for ages, the same goes for 4G, that we have had for what 5-10 years? Did HTC not launch the HTC Max 4G two years ago or?]]>Jun 7th 2010 7:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/wierd, because 4G is old tech, I thought that it had been available in the US for some time as well. I believe that 4G is as old as 3G, but just Nokia tech, I can remember that here in Denmark there was a lot of debate about adopting 3G or 4G 10 years ago.
But good that the US is catching up after all]]>Jun 7th 2010 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 7:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Living in Germany I'm somewhat curious what kind of 4G tech you have up their in Denmark for more than 5 years now.

Sometimes late can be bad, like when your girlfriend is late for her monthly friend.

I envy Scandinavia for their communications infrastructure.
But Worldclear is right as well. The US might be a bit behind their due to the size of the country and the huge investment it brings along to develop a new technology. But also due to their highly subsidized and therefore cheap smartphones and the variety of media and content providers it is projected that the US will lead the 4G market very soon after it kicks in. ]]>Jun 7th 2010 8:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 7:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 7:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/You can count on Skype never going offline from server overload]]>Jun 7th 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Jun 7th 2010 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/Have you actually held one for over 24 hours?]]>Jun 7th 2010 7:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/qik-admits-evo-4g-launch-problems-after-20x-increase-on-server-d/

There is a thread currently going on over at XDA that shows you how to get QIK working, with a newer version that sis not come with our phones! The icon is actually BLUE and is more user friendly. Here is a link to it:
