In fact you can setup a new Gizmo account straight from the Nokia itself. And Gizmo to Gizmo calls are free.
If 2 people already have the same platform (Nokia N810 or N800), then a Google chat or a Gizmo chat for Video is the simplest solutions, without having to go the SIP server way.

Quite frankly I dont know why you didn't investigate the first option - setting up a google account to activate the Google chat software on both ends - that is the simplest solutions. Next up is Gizmo.

I also keep Skype installed as a standby in case Gizmo happens to have a bad day (of course I have to give up my video in that case).

I went and put gizmo on my home pc and my n810. Besides the video from the 810 being horrible when viewed on either platform (as always) the video on the 810 (from the PC) constantly crapped out even at 128x96 pixels. Are there some tuning factors I need to do?
