No 3G video call yet! When will it be added?
 

are we going to see a firmware update that support 3g video call ?

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

One day hopefully. Its "to be announced" according to Nokia

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

i hope so, since what would be the use of a camera on the front of the N900?

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

I often wonder why this isn't as common for all phones since this is not the only phone to have a front facing camer... with the N8x0's cameras why isnt this something that already just works

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

its because the front camera was/is being used for internet video calls, not 3g ones. I really hope they get it to work soon as in some situations a video call could save A LOT of time.

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

front camera is a crap.. very disappointed with it... did u guys try it already?... download the "mirror" app... and see it by urself...

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

Other phones might have it but how many with Linux as their core OS? Maemo is new to video calling though I agree I would have expect the front camera to be working. I believe there was mention of a codec issue though.

I expect the actual 3G video calling would be low on the agenda as it isn't a well used feature of 3G networks, much to the annoyance of the network operators.

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

I agree. Would love to see it worked out; however after it working only on Gizmo5 to Gizmo5 and not universally supported in all other IM protocols nor Skype seriously is something that bothers me.

Would love to see the N8X0 get its due as well as the N900.

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

i think that is more a driver/configuration problem. thats like saying the new video card you just put in your coputer is crappy but you were using the generic vga drivers. just wait for the firmware update.

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

Well N810 GTalk call to the N900 results in receiving Video just has a hissy fit when you try to send it back from the N900.

How to make 3g video call from N900
 

Guyz,

Could you tell me how to make 3g video call N900,what is the use of front camera?,please tell me the procedure

Re: How to make 3g video call from N900
 

You wait till it's supported in a future firmware.

Re: How to make 3g video call from N900
 

I tried SIP video call (over 3G network) to my old N810. It "almost" worked. When I did enable video on the N810, a webcam button popped up in N900 to turn on video. However, when I pressed it nothing happened... :(

Apparently the video call feature is planned in future firmware. (Otherwise, why did the already implement the webcam button if they did not plan on using it...)

N900 No Support 3G Video call?
 

N900 have one front CAMERA! but can't use for 3G Video call .

i don't know why n900 can't dial 3g video call.

I cry with vexation and disappointment!

Re: N900 No Support 3G Video call?
 

Probably because the current firmware isn't supporting it??? Yeah.. Could be a good reason.

Re: N900 No Support 3G Video call?
 

there are seal threads on this one. There is an issue with the codec I believe for the front camera so has not been implimented yet. The impression I was given is that this is due to be addressed with a future update at some point.

Please use the search.

Re: N900 No Support 3G Video call?
 

When it will be?

Re: N900 No Support 3G Video call?
 

You have already been told :)

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

When they first launched 3G in Australia they made a big deal about video calls. But nobody ever uses it, not even when they offered it for free. Ok, maybe I use it once a year, tops, and then wonder why I bothered.

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

Because we pursue perfection
To their loved ones a video call ，so wonderful.

Re: 3g video call - n900
 

Don't do drugs and post.

N900 next firmware Not support 3G Video call ?
 

3g video call function not include next firmware.

Re: N900 next firmware Not support 3G Video call ?
 

For now i just hope for 2 things:

- MMS (because here in Portugal we use it a lot an for most it's free)

- Wi-fi bug solve. Once disconnected, the wi-fi should be really disconnected and not doing something in the background draining your battery.


That's the 2 things i'm hoping for but i am not a heavy user like most of you (i'm just a regular user interessted in good devices)

Re: N900 next firmware Not support 3G Video call ?
 

Also in China，everyone thinking of the same thing:MMS :)

Re: N900 next firmware Not support 3G Video call ?
 

Well feature isn't a bug, so that list doesn't mean anything.

video call
 

is video calling going to be in the firmware update .. the n900 has 3g so it should work right?

Re: video call
 

if it is in the firmware then yes should work :) - i'd find it cool, allthough more of a gimmick :)

Re: video call
 

I would love to use the front cam for IM with skype or gtalk. Now that would be great.

Re: video call
 

Agreed 100%

Re: video call
 

yep id be more interested in using it in gtalk or msn

Re: video call
 

But I thought the new version of fring was suppose to support the front cam. But I think that was for other nokia phones not sure if they will do the samething for the n900.

Re: video call
 

Yup, and there is almost no reason for it not to be possible in Skype in the N900, it will definitely be a big step up for mobile VOIP.

Re: video call
 

it does sound cool but on the n95 its just ok.
the video is not too bad but the voice is choppy as hell, best bet would be to use a voice+data call for decent voice.

i used it once and havent used it since

Re: video call
 

That's what I figured makes me wonder why its taking so long to be officially ported over to n900

Re: video call
 

I want it for video with IM and I can type the convo. Like I do on my laptop. Sometimes I just wanna "see" not talk ;)

Re: video call
 

TMI. ;)

I'm not sure what the front camera would actually see while I type IMs... a nice shot straight up my nose?

Re: video call
 

Hahaha not nothing bad just like my nieces and business type stuff where face to face is much needed. Your thinking *borat voice* SEXY TIME lmaoooo not the case for me lol :D

Re: video call
 

video call again like the mms, old stuff that costs money.. better to be implemented over ip.. so we can chat/see our friends family around the world for gratis. but ok we should have the facility to do both

3G vedio call MISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I have been surprised to find out that N900 doesn't give user a option to make 3G phone Call!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man , even my previous N95 can do this easily..................

this is not acceptable!!!!!!!!!

so disppointed again.

Re: 3G vedio call MISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

You should have searched before posting... plenty of people and posts about this already.

And if you purchased the N900 thinking it would already do video calls, you were either misinformed or you hadn't researched enough.

If it makes you feel better, it's one of the main reasons I'm holding off on my N900 purchase - the other two reasons are because it supports a different network and ultimately I don't have any money yet for one - is because of the lack of usage of the forward facing camera.

Who knows... perhaps Fring and/or Skype will give you that ability shortly... if not, RTComm. All are being updated invariably in the future.
