It takes effort - labor and time to build a working 3g video calling framework, and sony would probably be focusing more on new-fangled tech like floating touch and transparent plastic. They've only recently really taken off with their current android lineup and weren't doing so well since the walkman phone (~w810) era. And their priority would be to grow and establish a large customer base. What do you think would be more attractive to a potential, new customer. Video calling or ultra-cool transparent plastic?? After all this time, it looks unlikely that they will look at introducing 3g calling, especially with newer internet technologies coming out, but you never know, maybe someone in their dev team might have some sense after all...

          Actually, in many countries you pay about 12,5 Euros per month and you get unlimited voice and/or video calls for all the numbers that share that price plan.
          That means the 12,5€ are the money you have to talk to other people whatever their carrier/service provider.

          As far as Data Plans, you'll have to pay 5€ for a max of 100MB monthly (Vodafone).
          That means that you haven't got any chance to make a video call AND still have the money to call your friends "outside" your price plan.

          In fact, you end up with 7,5€ and 100MB to make video calls AND surf the Web for a whole month, and you can make all the video calls you wish to the same price plan, whilst to other phones/providers you'll pay 0,65€ per minute.

          You can see that is is much more practical, much easier and less complicated and above all - it is MUCH cheaper to have 3G native video calls as we were used to have (in older Sony and in WM phones, for example) and still have in most HTC,LG and Samsung Android phones.

          Sony has got nothing to loose if they introduce video calling in their phones.
          If you prefer to install a 3rd party programme, or if it is cheaper to make them via WiFi, then fine.

          I just wish all other consumers will have the chance to keep something that is very comfortable and affordable and that allows them to make video calls, to every 3g phone w. a front camera, wherever they are, to whoever they wish.
          No one will loose anything:
          It's actually a win-win situation.

              Brian, 18 Mar 2012Just read @ Sony's Xperia Play Official Blog. Let's follow ... moreI don't understand, you say data plans are expensive. Yet without a data plan the networks will be charging you per mb for 3g video calls, rather than a set monthly cost of say £5 for like 500mb (£500. surely this is MUCH MUCH more expensive.

                                    Just to vote FOR on the Video Calling poll.

                                    I also wish I could keep on enjoying my "pre-paid" video calls as there still is a front camera available to do it.

                                    Anyway, isn' that why front video cameras first appeareed on mobile phones?
                                    To allow users to enjoy video calls, 'on the go', immediately, whenever and wherever they might be?

                                      If you are, then RETURN your phone.
                                      Write down a complaint.
                                      Stand up for your rights, as you've got a faulty phone. That phone's got aproblem and that is why Sony provides consumers with an international warranty.

                                      It is never normal for a phone to have its flash flickering for no reason.
                                      You're spending battery and shortening the led's life. Actually, you're shortening your phone's life.

                                      They have to fix that phone. ASAP!
