Gmail and Skype depend on having a data plan.
In order to use Skype, you need a little Skype Credit or an appropriate subscription.
None of the above are needed on regular 3G Operator video calls:
You just dial a number and select whether you want a voice-only or a video call.
In Europe, people pay operators two kinds of plans:
> a "obligatory" voice/video call plan (which obviously includes) SMS.
> An extra Data Plan, which they pay separately, and includes traffic limitation and allows them to use Skype, browse the Internet, watch Youtube, etc.
That means that most people use video calls without any extra program, app... or payment:
They just dial and select video-call.
You used to have that on older Sony models.
Nowadays, Android has assumed that everyone has a data plan and tries to sell their google-related progs, so it withdraws that possibility from "google-dependent" phones.
The result is that brands that include video call capability on their phones tend to be more successful.
Just take a look at Samsung's sales reports...

You can't just dial a number and select video calling like in the old(er) models.
What you always have is video call over Data connections, such as Gmail or Skype, but that data plans are expensive in Europe as you have to pay extra for Data (and, even then, with strict traffic limits).
Android doesn't originally include that feature.
Samsung and HTC, to name but two, do provide that - in some of their phones -as part of their proprietary firmware/software capabilities.
I hope Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)will include 3G video calling (although, unfortunately, I doubt it).

this is one good device, specially once you've rooted the device. been spending most of my time playing and surfing the internet using the phone. w/ the help of antutu cpu master you'll have unlimited gaming experience. worries about the warranty? simply flash it and the root is gone and back w/ your warranty. theres more to expect specially when the ICS comes out for this device. a phone worth the risk of spending all you have.

I got mines for my brithday, i love it.
It's definitely fast, handles many games smoothly. Throughout the one month i owned it, it has only frozen on me once and it was on startup. I guess it's understandable.
Gaming is actually easier with the playstation buttons and the commercials were right, it doesn't ruin your gaming experience by blocked half of the screen with your thumbs.
It's just my opinions but i say android>apple. I have apple devices. it's sad and true.
