Can anyone please explain to me what the problem is with people using for example, Skype on their phone to do video calls. Rather than moan about this "native" 3g calls, whats the difference ? Either way its going to charge you or use your data plan. As there is no such thing as "voice mintues" or stuff like that included on contracts now. (In the UK anyway)

Lenny, 27 Apr 2012I agree with that.
3G native video calls are something tha... moreWell, there's a simple way to find out. Sony has released the ICS update for the Xperia ARC S, NEO V and Ray. Check if the update gave them video calling. Coz if they don't have it, then obviously the Play won't get it either.
Fact is, with faster internet connectivity options, the days of video calling over 3g looks pretty numbered.

3G native video calls are something that have helped samsung's and htc's sales in the highly competitive android market.
In Europe (and India, apparently) people are used to placing video calls at no extra cost and not needing any extra software or connection, and that is both positive and useful.
Google has tried to sell Android phones without native video calling, but older users who were used to it and all those whose price plans include video calls won't accep it.
I will also be very sorry if sony doesn't include native video calling on their ICS update and I am sure that will mean one thing:
My next phone WON'T be another sony.
Bear in mind, it's quite common for whole families having the same brand/type of phone and enjoying native video calls, just as they do with "regular" voice calls.
That means that if I change from sony to another brand, it will be more than a single phone sony will stop selling, because no one in my family will do the same mistake I did.
I believed having a gamepad would be great, and no doubt about it, IT IS!
But, at the end of the day, you'll be wanting and needing a... PHONE!
And getting myself an android phone with video calling capability will NOT stop me from playing my games!
Just think about it.

This is for all the Xperia Play lovers and I am sure they will feel that this is good news. Xperia Play is truly an amazing phone and now when it has ICS it is surely going to be awesome. Rooters should now be happy because Play can be rooted with ICS. Check http://www.androidust.com/root-sony-xperia-play-on-ice-cream-sandwich-ics-android-4-0/

MicroMax (mobile manufacture in India) android super phones also has Native 3G video calls inbuild with dual sim. They also using similar hardware and operating system. Micromax mobiles are much cheaper. If they can WHY NOT SONY???
I just updated my Neo V with ICS. I thought Native 3G video call enabled in this update. My mistake, I am expecting A SMALL THING from BIG BRAND. It is just waste of money of buying SONY andorid mobiles. It is GOOD for Nothing. I am very disapointed.
Native 3G video call is much cheaper in India compared to Video Chat. India's Govt mobile service provider charge 1 paise per second for Native 3G video call without any DATA charges.
MicroMax knows the need of Indian people so they are growing. Samsung does the same thing. Where is SONY??
I like Sony mobiles as they built good quality phones with good look. But I need to basic feature as well. If that is not there, then it's of no use.

I don't know about U.S.A., but in Europe we can have videocalls through the 3G network.
I'm not talking about VoIP videocalls etc. I'm talking about "native" 3G videocalls. I'm not saying I always use videocalls, but sometimes I do use them.
Every 3G-phone I've ever had was videocall-capable. Every Windows Mobile Symbian-phone, every 3G-phone (such as SONY's) with a proprietary OS was videocall-capable.
From what I've seen, the only
ones currently lacking this feature are iPhone and Android based smartphones from "lazy" brands such as Sony...
HTC, LG and Samsung do offer 3G video native call starting from their mid-range phones.
It even seems like the next gen iPhone could be videocall-capable, although that may be an advertiding stunt from Apple's clever marketing dept...

Video call should be a vital part of ICS.If there exists already a native stack solution then it it could be ported along with modifications in framework and modifications in the phone applications.
