I have tried. MY N900 gives me the option to make a video call and I can see my image in the screen, but no video back from them and no video is seen by them.
I tried it over WiFi, directly hooked to a LAN and a Verizon wireless card on the Mac. No video to or from the N900. Also had the N900 connected via WiFi and through T-Mobile and a full 3.5G signal. To verify it was working on the Mac, I did a Skype call to a PC (with no camera) and it worked. Next I'll hook a camera up to the PC.
Still playing with the Mac version, but right now I'm not having much luck.

Let all exchange phone numbers and do this Skype Video test drive, just to see how it works. 
Then we'll know for sure if N900 to N900 video works! hehe

So Swirnoff and I just tried an N900 to N900 video call over WLAN and it was working pretty impressively. I tried switching my connection to the UK T-Mobile 3.5G service and it wouldn't work at all on video, plus gave very choppy results on voice only. Looks like T-Mobile are throttling Skype services over here in the UK, so no chance of making cellular Skype video calls out in the wild for me, sigh.
My wife is on Virgin mobile and has successfully made Fring video calls over cellular on her 5800. I was pretty sure that Virgin was on the back of T-Mobile here anyway. Must have got that wrong.

I tried calling over 'three' network here in the UK to the windows client. And it worked quite well.

will fring be activate video calling now that pr 1.2 has been released
If the other party does not have a webcam enabled -> there is a possibility that your n900 skype will not have the video option enabled.
So I use this trick to make it work.
Option 1
1. Ask the other party to use "screen sharing"
2. Right click on your skypename -> Share Your Screen -> Share Selection
3. Click on Start Sharing.
4. Then your n900 will ring -> Pick up the phone
and you will see the camera option will "appears" on your n900,
5. Click on the camera to send your video to your friend
6. Stop Screen sharing (from your friend)
then you will be able to send video from your n900 to your friend.
Option 2:
1. Establish a skype call to the person (a normal skype call)
2. Ask your Friend to use the screen sharing
Right click on your skypename -> Share Your Screen -> Share Selection
3. Click on Start Sharing.
4. Your N900 screen will change to allow video call.
5. start the camera on your n900
6. stop the sharing
PS: DO NOT try to use share "your screen -> Full Screen" option because the call will be aborted.
Have fun for skype video calling :-)
