You can skype over 3g but there's no 'video calling' facility per se.

i wonder if somebody smart could write an application to fill the gap - or if this door will remain closed forever because the OS doesn't expose the hooks needed for this. (MMS wasn't supported either on the N900 and is now possible via fMMS - so you never know...)

Video calls are deffinately possible via google chat or skype
I dont know if its possible using 3G, but a regular voice call certainly works over 3G very well.

I use 3G video calls all the time. Sure you can say it is video chat, but the point is, I choose a contact, make a call that contains video over 3G. Technicalities will have people thinking that the above isn't possible on the N900. The other phones like the Sprint 4G and MyTouch 4G do the same thing, use a 3rd party app (Qik) to video call/chat. It just so happens that the N900s 3rd party apps are GTalk and Skype.

I'm not a techie.. so when i say it is possible to use the N900 for video calls I was just saying it is possible to use the N900 to make and recieve video calls using a program like skype or google chat.
