This has been said a thousand times before on this forum, but for clarity, video calling works through Gmail for incoming calls only.

Get someone to call you through Gmail and when you answer, you get the option to turn on the camera.

Though you may want to note that with PR 1.2 you can start video calls from the N900 (basically they added a button for it)

Probably everybody waiting for Mr. Almighty to come up with another "greatest idea" thats never seen before which is "video calling" http://www.businessweek.com/magazine...7033176309.htm I wonder how long people will keep worshiping thing calling " I am an iphone "
I guess even Nokia waiting for that http://www.businessweek.com/magazine...7034180226.htm
Two article from Business Week magazine. One dedicated to big and promising Apple and another not that promising Nokia.

There are two issues w the N900 that I feel are so very descriptive of why Nokia is going down the drain (just check the share price). One is this; releasing a dual camera phone with Skype pre-installed, this could have been a **wow** thing. But.... half a year after the release... video conferencing still doesn't work as the front camera still doesn't function. My Asus eee worked right out of the box at half the price of the N900 two years ago.

The other thing? Well, try to open your typical email attachments... On the Nokia Flagship Device and without buying/installing extra software.

Whatever, the N900 is still pretty cool and I really like it.. Wish somebody else would make one.

you are aware that the n900 is not and has in fact never been nokia's flagship device?

you may very well argue that the N900 isn't a flagship device (and i would tend to agree with you) but the point still remains.

in fact, the Nokia flagship device, Nokia N97 (and you cannot deny that handset is a flagship device) still has a rather crap email client. On the Symbian platform, we're just grateful for ProfiMail - without which, we'd be stuck with Nokias extremely antiquated email solution.

again, the point still remains - Nokia make rather lacklustre and feature-less email clients.

you have pretty weird criteria what you are paying for.....

this "check share price, it confirms my argument" tells more than you could ever imagine about ones knowledge about things.
