So they support 5 standards but... did not implement them just yet?

Wrong. They are implemented but there have been other issues that have come up that were too serious to allow video chat to be released to the public yet.

BTW, that's bug 5218 for anyone interested in tracking and/or voting. The latest word was
Oh, video calling is not fully supported in the first sales release. It will be
fully supported in a forthcoming release.

If you have an N900, install the Mirror app from extras-devel to see what the front-facing camera looks like currently.... I see some of the "serious problems" just by looking at that...

At this point, video chat on the N900 is non-existant. There were problems during development so the plan is to put out an update that adds it after release.

I should support Gtalk's protocols. I'm not aware of Pidgin having its own set of video protocols so I can't give an answer on that.
So Google Talk is checked, what about Skype video call and most importantly network video call?

Here's a picture of matteone trying out the mirror app. Notice the weird dark area on the right side? That seems to be a problem on all the devices so far.

Hm, the left side looks suspiciously close to 640x480 (the sensor's native resolution), I wonder if that has something to do with it.
