It is for sure that 3G video calls and Video call over Skype will never come from Nokia. I really want to ask why the hell they given the front cam when they are not going to give 3G video call option. It is not a thing to be done by 3rd parties like they used to say about Skype. This should be done by Nokia.
But I believe this community have great people they can do it. But surely they need to be motivated. What I know little about Linux I know this nothing is impossible.
I really request all the Soooper people there to plzz do something for this. We are here to support you in all the ways.

So that's why I said earlier its a fat hope for it to come to the n9...

I dont know much about proprietary things. But Nokia should be killed for making many users fool by putting front facing camera. It was better if they have not given it. At least just one complain No front camera. Now having front camera but useless.
What about MMS? We were not able to send and receive MMS on N900. But I saw a few days ago an app which was capable of doing this

MMS works perfectly fine on the n9...in fact its similar to belle's implementation...you just write it as a text...if u attach anything etc. it auto-converts to MMS...
Front camera usage apps are on the Store so at this point to complain about it is frivolous...

To be very frank all those apps are useless. Is there anyone who is actually using those apps? Front camera means video call support. If not then there is no need to put a front camera in the device.
i know we can do video calls through gtalk, or may be in future through skype,
but we need to do 3g video calls when the other user dont have gtalk video calling support, like nokia e7 or nokia n95.
at that time we should do 3g video call.
in addition here in India we have free 3G video calls provided by BSNL.
