Re: Application for video calling over 3G network
 
this is no excuse that its a tablet computer nd not a phone.. we r using it as a phone and nokia is cell phone manufacturing company.. so it is a phone and 3g video calling is one of the basic feature in most of the phones.. 3g data cards are also used on tablets netbooks notebooks and with its help we can make a videocall thru our laptop... so y nt the all mighty N900???

So, again, how do we get Nokia's attention to come up with a 3G video call application? or how do we vote priority for Maemo developers? Rather than just talking about it? All the points discussed so far are accurate, but we are still preaching to the choir? This is a truly fundamental and useful phone application. Let's make it happen before the N900 becomes obsolete :cool:

Just thought I'd let you know.

n900 skype video doesn't work for desktop Mac/Linux video skype clients, only the latest windows release. This is odd considering that the n900 is just an arm linux platform itself.

Video now works with Skype Beta 5 for Mac osx and N900.

You need to encourage the fMMS author to try.

Well it's still not Linux but I wonder if that also has a beta, I'll have to check...

looks like we are never going to be able to make video calls from our beloved n900

Re: Application for video calling over 3G network
 
no hope left to me! does meego or maemo 6 support 3G video calls?

edit: btw is there a way to add skype in contacts and conversation things for indian firmware. I was thinking of flashing my phone sometimes later if there is no way to ad skype protocal.
