Have you ever used your camera to make video call?
 
I was just curious, it was a neat idea, but it seems horribly implemented. Did not seem real useful unless everyone you know has an n800.

Nope, and never will until Nokia - or some other enterprising mind - makes it possible to easily use it with other software.
Really, right now I only care about getting Skype with video on the thing.

Yeah Peng...

Have used it quite often to vid chat with friends locally (somewhere in New Mexico) and internationally to several friends in the UK... oh, and one friend on the east coast... and the quality was from "exceptible" to "super".

Please note that these chats were with other N800 users.

Regards...

I've got it to work a couple of times already.
pretty simple.
N800 to N800
N800 to PC (well no more of this, really sucks for taking this out.)
you should remove that multiple choice of N800 to PC, it is not available anymore.

They removed N800 to PC because it was horribly done and very unreliable, but have stated the feature will make a comeback in the future.

Probably right around the time Duke Nukem Forever is released.

You're right, take out that "N800 to PC" option, and add what the majority of us has really done: "Yes, once, to test the functionality, but no more because there aren't so much users using N800".

I would give my vote for that (tested with Mika some weeks ago)

I thought the handheld to pc function worked okay. I called my dad with it. He installed the desktop app to his dell laptop with the built in camera. Used it to show him all the projects I have going on around the house. Even went out in the yard to see how well it worked in the sun. I couldn't see the screen, but he said the video looked pretty good. Not too bad for a video call from a handheld in the middle of nowhere Alaska to just north of Dayton Ohio.

Yea, that will probably get pushed back so they can use the new Cry engine.:rolleyes: So that would make it the second Tuesday of the third week in June, 2142. :D
