It's not that the front camera isnt working, it's just that there are no applications that make use of it at the moment other than the mirror app. I installed the mirror app and the front camera works, though the quality is horrible. It's said though that the quality will be improved with the next firmware update.

The funny thing about the image aswell (I am not sure whether its a fault with my unit) is on one side there is a rectangle that the image is darker than the rest of the screen.

Does anybody have a link to the announcement that it will be fixed? I keep hearing people say this, and not that I don't believe them, but I just want to read the announcement myself and see what else they talked about.

As it is, the front camera is clearly unusable.

The quality from that front camera is frankly embarrassing.

same here. odd line on the right side creating a rectangle shape. if you use the zoom feature on the mirror application, the line isn't visable. Also, I got a look at a friends N95 the other day...norml camera application on that device gives you the option of either front or rear camera to use. surprised that the N900 didn't have a similar option.

That goes all to NOkia phone front camera. All rubbish 0.3megpix cmos.
we were chatting last night and she mentioned something very weird....
she said her front camera wasnt working....and that the sales associate at the Nokia store informed
her that its a known issue and would be sorted in a fw update.........
i found this very weird....as my front cam works perfectly....
my question to the forum is "those who bought from Nokia UK (especially) have you heard this same report?
anyone having issues with the front camera?
(shes had the N900 about 3 days now)
