    [deleted post]Yeah the N82 was boring, that's why I dumped it for iPhones.

    You can see from the video in the story just how bad video calls are you may as well just set a contact photo as your background and pretend that it moves every couple of seconds.

        Guys, if someone want to have fun with QT software for this phone with some kinetics and graphics, go to http://qt.nokia.com/developer/qt-4.6-rc-for-symbian-developers for developers or first download the demo version to try and just accept all during installation on memory card, so you can see here in youtube wot is all about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhr44p2p_3M&feature=player_embedded

              [deleted post]Video calling is such a useful thing, I guess that's why phone networks advertise it all the time...

              ...hang on, no they don't, they don't even mention it any more.

              So can I use this on a Nokia 6700 Classic?

                            Original_Jamaican, 25 Nov 2009To EVERYONE: A front camera is NOT needed to make video ... moreUm, yeah that may be true but if you are using the back camera, you may as well be talking normally because you won't be able to see them. Without the front camera, you may as well not use videocall.
