When people start saying "yes but do you use it? do you need it? i dont" to any functionality that existed in the past but now has been taken away alarm bells ring for me. I want advancements in what my new gadgets to for more - not less. I can give up somethings like IR ports but when you defend a device/company by saying who needs what any other competitor device has I worry.

I used skype video on my N900 a lot. Year before facetime existed and long before Android caught up. I do think updates will bring video functionality but If it doesnt i wont say "nah, never needed it anyway". Just gotta be honest.
