You can already do video-calling via GTALK, you just need to initiate it from a Windows or Mac PC..

PR 1.2 just adds the capability to start it from the N900 as far as I know. For those expecting Skype video call, I wouldn't set your expectations high.

I was able to video chat on GTalk, but the initiator must be someone on a PC/Mac computer. I get mixed results, sometimes my friend on the computer sees me (the video taken with the front cam on the N900) pretty decent, but the video I see of them from their webcam is choppy. Sometimes, it's the other way around. So not sure why.

I'm on 3.5G, while my friend is on cable broadband. Switching to wifi on my N900 doesn't make a difference.

Although not stellar video performance on both ends, its a cool feature to have nonetheless. Hoping newer firmwares might improve this aspect.

Yes, 3G video calling is a VERY important application and most people (N900 owners) want it.
No, the thread is short because it was discussed at lenght on another similar thread:
Application for video calling over 3G network
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65691&page=5

Anyway, it's good to keep this topic ongoing and prioritized so someday, sooner (rather than later), we will get to use 3G video calling before the N900 becomes obsolete.

He meant regular normal 3G Video Calls, which do not use internet. The N900 does not support it, but almost every other 3G phone does.

Bit of hyperbole here. I, for one, do not care about 3G video calling.
