gadget reviews : Video Calling with Qik and Fring on the T-Mobile myTouch 4G and the Sprint Epic 4G

Video Calling with Qik and Fring on the T-Mobile myTouch 4G and the Sprint Epic 4G
One of the most touted "features" of the T-Mobile myTouch 4G is video calling via the built-in Qik app. Not only is it supposed to be awesome, but it's supposed to be better than Apple's FaceTime because you can make and receive calls anywhere you've got a data connection -- not just over Wi-Fi. How does it work in practice? Not that well. I took the myTouch 4G connected over T-Mobile's HSPA+ network, and the Sprint Samsung Epic 4G connected to Sprint's network, and tried to make a phone call -- or, rather, a video chat. After hours upon hours of trying to make a call, well... watch the video.
