            And wait till facebook video comes online with fring too getting it on mobile. OMG, it will be start of a next revolution.

                [deleted post]Why?

                I don't use the MMS on it and I used video calls even less when I had phones that could do it.

                You can see on the clip in the news story how slow it is, he even moves the phone away from the camera because nothing is happening in the video call.

                          just tried this on my 5800. It's a bit laggy but the quality of the video is a lot better than what i thought it would be. I'm not sure if the lag is due to the programming or due to the hardware limitations of the 5800. If this works better on the N97, i may just get it.

                                    I tried this app on 5800 XM. It works very good. Voice are clear but video is a little bit blur (mobile phone to PC video call).
