Works pretty nicely. Laptop connected to gmail via web browser. I tested two setups, both N900 and my laptop using wlan, and N900 using 3G, laptop using wlan. Both setups work. Oh and the image quality of N900's front cam is way better in this firmware.

Go to jabber.org and sign up for a free username
I'm EST too....I'll watch this thread and maybe we can do a test vidcall between our N900s

For example, if you use Windows or OSX. Google, gtalk and video, the first result should be a site owned by Google that takes you to a page to install the software for video. Then open the dedicated GChat app or go to your gmail.com and start a video call from there to your N900.
If you are using Linux, I believe you will have to use a program like Ekiga.

I tried both Pidgin and Empathy without much success. Shortly after starting video conversation, N900 auto switches to audio only.

Yeah ! I just found out about this too, I can receieve video calls from my friend using gtalk now ! its awesome !
The 3 things that aren't great for now:
- The image I recieve is very very choppy, and it doesn't look like network problems, but video displaying problems.
- No possibility to start the video call from the N900.
- No fullscreen
very cool nevertheless

WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS.
It was connected and sending audio/video by 10 minutes.
The front n900 camera is not very good quality (we already knew that), but works for this with good light.
I tried with skype but no signal of video anywhere, hope will be implemented soon !
The bad thing is that someone with a client capable of video of gtalk/jabber MUST call YOU into your n900, if you made the call to them the video option dont appear.
