I really wonder if this would be technically possible at all. Are the relevant parts of Maemo open enough to change the way a call is initiated?

I'd put money on them not being, from what i recall the actual phone part was still closed source?

Oddly I don't think there's video calling in android either?

I wouldn't know about Android, I'm not going to touch anything related to Google. ;)

OTOH, I wouldn't be surprised. In recent years, phone design has become the main field of work for decorators, hair dressers and beauticians. It doesn't matter what the €500,- thing does, as long as it as a spectacular pink gradient with bubbles as a background image and looks great with your Gucci shoes.

Indeed my brother works in a phone shop and says 9/10 times if people don't want an iphone, thier only buying decision is "can i have it in pink"
