I told them this update would be out soon, and now this happened. I don't want any Skype, Gtalk, or Facebook videoconference, JUST THE STANDARD 3G VIDEOCALL FOR GOD'S SAKE

Many of my friends have 3G video calling. A time ago after buying my N9 i show them my phone and one of the first things they noticed was the front camera, and then i had to admit there was no videocall at all, just a little mirror app. After that, they started calling eachother to test their cameras, almost laughing at me who having the most expensive phone i couldn't do a simple 3G videocall.

I've never had the chance to have a phone with videocalling (i was looking forward to test it with my N9), so i can't say if it's useful or not.

So that's it, i don't have money to throw away, and i'm old enough to realise about that. So yes, we can say i get a little bit depressed.
Now getting back on topic, we all know Nokia announced today "videocall support" during the PR 1.2 update. Anyone knows if there is any new feature at all? I mean for devs, final users, or whatever. I just want to know what that point in the changelog stands for.

Well, if lack of key videocalling codecs has been delaying Peregrine development of this feature, then the wait may not be long. Let's give the 1.2 update a chance to get out there to devs and see what happens. Peregrine is certainly planning on adding videocalling, last I heard.

There was never ever going to be 3G video-call, that was always made clear, it was always XMPP/Jingle or Skype.
