That's dissapointing. I thought one Nokia device would be able to video chat with the other - just like we could video chat with N800 to a N810 - of course both were running same software in that case.

What's also disappointing is that the video call on the chat client seems to to be not interoperable with any other google talk client out there (web, ichat). So this relegates itself to being useless.

I tried to do a video call from the N900 to the N800 on Google Talk. The N800 works fine turning on the camera and broadcasting the video (albeit really crappy video) to the N900, however when I turn on the N900's camera....crash, and both calls revert back to voice calls. I am guessing this is a bug, or can anyone with both devices make a true video call and is it something just I'm experiencing?

I get the feeling it has something to do with the video driver since the video starts for a second, then it crashes and switches back to voice-only.

Has anyone tried gtalk video chat with any other client with success ?
is it supposed to work with the webmail client for example ?
I find the video chat of gtalk to be very buggy overall... in all clients

As Mikhail said on the bug, video call support is slated for later update.

It was only when I tried to send video stream back that the whole thing went pear-shaped.

The audio was choppy but that might have been the cellular connection rather than the codec.

Will br trying an experiment on this with Speculatrix later. Will try to use the Windows and Linux clients to check if any difference. Unfortunately neither of us uses a Mac so can't test that platform. Results will be posted when I have them for sure.
