I didn't catch that GTalk video call support had been added.

What do you mean by "real 3G video call"

Probably 3G device to 3G device. (Though technically if you were using a Windows netbook on a 3G network then it would qualify wouldn't it?).

It's funny that you Americans don't even know 3G video calls... I read somewhere that all US operators simply blocked it from their networks, maybe thats why.

3G video calls are part of the phone standard - you can simply call a person an decide if the call should be voice only or video. You do not use an IM network for that, it's a phone call. You're dialing the phone number. So the "Windows netbook on a 3G netwoork" doesn't qualify as 3G voice call - unless the Windows netbook has a driver and an application that react to phone calls and support this type of video call when I dial your number on my handset.

Funny. I just tried to call a friend via GTalk. he has an N900 with PR1.1, too. The option for the cam didn't show up, I couldn't do anything else than chat or talk.

Then I tried between my N900 and my desktop computer running Empathy.
I got a different user interface (it did have a part that would display the remote cam image - and a smaller place where I could see the image coming from my own front cam), but the video was non-functional. Black.

Am I about to configure router settings again to help NAT traversal?*sigh*

you can try close your computer firewall .open computer gtalk before you must download gtalk voice video ActiveX. i download this activex programme.I suspect that the reason for the firewall.

but,N900 front camera not good,such as it is.video isn't very sharp.

How can you tell if it's sharp or not beneath all the noise?

i did the test :

using my laptop under ubuntu 9.10 using empathy and my n900, i did a video call, and when call was notified on my n900, i take it and when phone screen appears, i seen a "camera" button, i clicked on and a second after i saw two pictures : one from my laptop webcam, and another from the N900 front camera, so it works but its really ugly and slow ...
