What does the front camera do?
 

I see a camera there but havn't seen it as an option to use?

Re: What does the front camera do?
 

there is no app integrated, but you can download 'Mirror' from the extras repositories. that .app uses the front cam, though its very bad image quality

Re: What does the front camera do?
 

right now it's useless, lets hope nokia will provide the software in the upcomming FW update.

Re: What does the front camera do?
 

It currently has no solid function as of yet except being used in the "Mirror" application I think.

Main problem with it right now is some artifacting forming a band (vertical?) on part of the screen and unless you're in a brightly lit area- (Though I have heard this will be fixed in a firmware update.) the quality suffers immensely anyways. Perhaps in the future someone will include a Skype port that allows you to use it for videochat or something similar, but for now it doesn't do all that much yet.

you can use the cam in amsn for msn videochat as far as i know...

Re: What does the front camera do?
 

aMSN is not available in the Extra Repo. Anyhow to find one that is ported to N900?:o

Re: What does the front camera do?
 

i dont think you can as of yet

it doesnt do anything atm.

Mirror app - as stated before :) - so one use :) - hehe

I'm sure that people will start adding it's ability to future apps, as also mentioned before, amsn etc, when they make it into extras :)

There could be a firmware update from nokia to fix issues too :) - will hope!
Would be nice to get some good use out of something i've paid for :)

I thought it was also working with google video chat. I am nearly 75% sure of it.

Nice, whats are you running?

Re: What does the front camera do?
 

It's this: http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/i...ic,7505.0.html don't try it if you don't know how to resolve package dependencies using terminal and dpkg. You have been warned.

Edit: repo is described here, it's easier this way: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...858#post457858

The front cam, while not great, is now usable quality via the mirror app in bright light.

Just tested Gtalk chat, video does not work with original firmware at least
