GTalk crashed when I tested it. Used Firefox on OS X to start a video chat to the N900. Everything worked until I started to use the camera on the N900.

"video chat with failed because of a network problem at 5:52 PM. Please try again"

Hoping that Skype will have videochat on the N900 soon.

I just tried making a call between gtalk on n900 and gtalk/gmail chat on my PC and the webcam feature works. I can only initiate the video conference thingy from my PC tho, couldn't find the button to initiate it from the n900.
Tested on Skype and Msn (Haze) as well and both don't seem to support that as of now.
Btw, I just found out I can actually recharge Skype credit directly from n900's Skype account, not sure if this was an old feature or new implementation after PR 1.1.

I had the exact same experience using Mac OSX and Firefox with N900. Everything works for the call, up until the point you click the webcam button on the N900. I get about a second or two of video sent from the N900 to the Mac, and then the call dies.

I don't bite

PM me
Are Jabber accounts free? I'd be up for a test...I have a GTalk account already FWIW.

I can do a few on Friday, around noon EST (East Coast US)...also speak a little Deutsche/Schweiz (sp?) Deutesche/Francais/Espanol/Russki. Well, if nothing I can "at least" say hello

So how exactly are you guys able to initiate a video chat with the n900 from the PC gtalk account? It shows that the n900 gtalk client doesnt support video chat and doesnt allow me to press the video conference button.....also when i try to press the camera button on the n900 it just opens up the camera application itself. Am i doing something wrong?

I tried it a few minutes ago. Called the N900 from the computer, got very choppy image on the N900.

As soon as I pressed the camera icon on the 900, the image is transmitted for a few seconds, then the conversation is ended with [Code: 3 Remote: false]

Interesting development though
