i'm live in native country not like US country with wider and faster internet connection and for sure not all of people owning their skype phone and better internet tablet phone or whatever related to VOIP function,but lot of people still having old type of phone and suport that 3g video calling function..so it just some added value to our N900.that for my concern...if that the most function to be with,better we replace with other type of phone for example nokia N8.but i'm still loving using my N900 and loyal with nokia for sure.

Now video calling using over 3G is more cheaper rather than subscribing internet package in my country..even our telco operator offer free 3G video calling to our sub line phone..so that for my intention,most of country like india,china,singapore,malaysia,sri lanka,indonesia,arab saudi and etc is most popular usage for this function..

i'm just highlighting and asking for this issues,it that any progress or update from nokia or application developer such as fring or others guys from maemo community to work on that,from my opinion its more useful to other user hopefully.

sorry for my poor english language..hope you can get my point here..thanks
