Well unless you have a Mugen double cell N900, I will have to mod this to fit for my phone I guess.
A 30-40mm concave mirror stickered to the phone mount will help with aiming.

All we need now is to bind ↵ to the camera trigger and we can has selfi-stick for N900!

this is the command to fire the camera
gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! filesink location=frontcam.jpg

Though I think it would be better to just bind ↵ like c is in the regular camera app.

It might be nice to have a selfi app or even a script and launcher button on the desktop so that ↵ only works as trigger when wanted for use with selfi sticks.
Ideally we can stick a .deb in this thread with the script and have it depend extkbd, maybe it can even make it to the repos.

or this?

Since you mentioned a mirror, I think you want /dev/video0 for the "rear" camera as they call it. And a convex mirror I think you meant, like on my old Sony-Ericsson K550i. That was really a neat feature.
