Well, I'm sure it works great on the N9. I bring this up specifically for the N900 since, as mentioned before, anything outside of the Phone app the front-facing camera is unable to do color-balance and light-balance and most times everything comes out dark with a dark-green tint.

I don't know what 'magic' the Phone app does when it uses Skype and it initializes the camera so that it autobalances. Has anyone figured it out?
