I honestly don't understand the point of video conferencing with one person. Why would you need to see that one person.

@Zarian: Terminators from the future could easily dupe you into believing you were talking to a family member or friend by mimicking their voice. Video chat would require the terminator to either visually mimic the family member or friend at the same time, or use some other method to hunt you down.

So, on what network precisely are we supposed to desire video calling? AT&T's network is crumbling under the weight of the iPhone as it is, T-Mobile's got a 3G network about as large as a backyard, Verizon would replace the Blackberry's standard video calling app with the usual proprietary crap... I guess that leaves Sprint?

But then... you'd have to have Sprint.

It's cool tech, but America's cellular infrastructure is shitastic.

Front facing cameras creep me out (including the one on my laptop). What if someone managed to activate it remotely, and watch everything I do? Oh god, the things I do in front of my computer...

Ok, just to make sure I've got this story straight.

Rim is talking about introducing a feature that every other country has had for years, right? Yet when it was rumored on the iPhone it was met with choirs of angels but since now its just a blackberry the question is if anyone really wants or needs it.

That about cover it?

@PotteryBarnClearanceSale: I wasn't aware that Europe was the only other country in the world with that capability.

Nor was I aware that I put such a heavy anti-american spin on my comment. Thanks Fox News I'll keep it in check from here on out.

Why the hell has it taken this long?
What with the growling from iPhone owners, you think RIM would step up to the plate and get a video conferencing camera pronto! Gotta beat the competition...

They took their time, for sure...

"late, as almost every other 3G phone in the market has this feature already"

The iPhone has consistently done everything better. Hopefully, they'll rock this out, too.

Video conferencing would be cool if I had friends.

@funkydude101: If you are good at making things out of clay, you could always put up some kind of table in the middle of your town and offer to make clay statues of people who walk by. They'd have to sit for awhile while you completed your statues, and while you sculpted them, you could chit chat and become their friend. Then, at the end of the session, you could tell them that even though you initially intended to charge them for your artistry, you had since become such good friends, the statue is your gift to them, a small token of your excellent friendship. Hug them, and then laugh about how easy it will be to clean up the wet clay you've inadvertently transfered to their clothes.

Then, to solidify the friendship, so that you're not just friends for a day, or a year, but forever, you could tie one of your legs to one of their legs, like you're going to do a 3-legged race, while you wait for the clay to dry. And then just walk around town like that, with them, for an hour or two, with your legs tied together, and you will bond like friends who have known each other forever.

If you do this every day for month, you will have so many friends, you won't know what to do with them!
