do u think rim will come out with a bb that has a front facing camera too. the commercial that apple put out with the front camera look pretty cool even though u can only do it with only iphone 4 to iphone 4 with wifi only.
I had a front facing camera on a Sony Ericsson P1i about 4 years ago. It worked well enough but 3G had not really taken hold in Europe then so there was nobody to call with video.
Now that Apple had fitted one to the iPhone, a front facing camera will become the norm within 1 year, I predict.

Don't tell Steve Jobs that he thinks he invented it like he invented folders for apps.......
Why include such a useless feature? Oh, because some people think its cool?
Only the iPhone's front camera is solely useable on wifi. The one on my EVO can be used on 3G, 4G, or wifi. So there are users that will be able to take advantage.
When the camera phone was introduced people said it was stupid because "What
good is it to have a camera on your phone to send pictures if others don't have
a camera phone?"
In this situation, video chat will be something normal like cameras on a phone
became this past decade. Pete6 is correct too. Now that Apple has implemented
it, it's going to become even more popular.
Well this beats wearing a trench coat and lurking. Now I can just make random calls!
What's wrong with lurking?
Do you cut the legs off your pants and tie them up just under your knees. That way until you open your trench coat it looks like you are fully clothed. Hehe.
Personally, I think it's kind of silly. iPhone 4 user can ONLY use it over Wi-Fi to other iPhoners. The EVO can work over 3G/4G which is nice but again, you'd need to be calling another device which is compatible with it. This is not a wide-spread feature so at the time now, it seems rather useless.
I'd wait til it's a wide-spread feature across MANY phones, many people have it, and I can use it over 3G, not just Wi-Fi.

I found that wearing a pair of socks and above that just a straight up pair of shorts works great. You get some real weird looks from people.
