I hope this feature is not available on WP8 & iOS!!!

                                I heard this phone or any WP8 phone does not support native video calling. Is it true?

                                I know it can be done via skype but I am specifically asking about Native 3G Video Calling option.
                                otherwise I love the looks of this phone and want to shift from LAGDROID to WP8 Lumia 720 or 820. Any users of Lumia please confirm this detail to help me in making my final decision.

However 720 is more light weight and has the unibody design. Also it good better camera. 620 is more compact and affordable phone among the two. If affordability is not a problem, go for 720. Its the better overall package.

                                      Human, 15 Apr 2013Inb4, HTC + good battery life? You must be drunk/joking.720 vs one X+?
                                      720 only win in talktime test. Are you drunk?
                                      I expect HTC First has similar battery performance with One X+ (it has smaller battery but smaller screen and slower CPU)
