Video Calling
 
hey just a question, there is not video calling stated on N900 spec, is this possible (with cellular) and how about video calling on skype?

Going from what we know, video calling won't be supported by cellular and won't be supported by Skype. Probably will only work when calling another N900 user over Google Talk if at all.

I hope a future firmware upgrade will at least enable video calling via 3G to other phones. I don't know people on Skype, but everybody I know has a phone that does video calls. It would be very, very strange to own a "flagship" device and be the only one who cannot do that.

Yes indeed that would be quite irresponsible of Nokia not to implement such a feature...

I wonder if there any official standard (RFC?) for video calling?

Phone features on the N900 in general are faaar behind compared to most any S60 device... It really looks like they got the most basic features working - and decided it would be good enough. (Which most probably it is for 96.498% of the consumers :D - sometimes I really, really wish I was one of these people who are always in some target group and get what they want. I envy those who are content with an iPhone. Really, I do.)

there must be - it works across devices of different brand and across networks/carriers.

i remember reading somewhere that it's part of the UMTS standard.

yes i understand that this in not a full celular capable device, i understand that mms seems to be out of date and can be replace by online sharing but no video calling, i really want to know their reason to put front camera if it is other than for video call and web calling?

Well, could be that it now works with all that, but we've heard nothing at all about it... which is strange, because you'd think it would be a big feature.
