excellent opportunity for video conferencing!!! without saying what i can’t say, i know a lot about features and their packages for a very popular 3G carrier. i can tell you that in the 2 YEARS that a mobile video sharing feature (one way) has been available, it has not made me any money. the promo free month is about the longest it lasts. it’s a bunch of fun demo-ing the feature, but i’ve had access to a TON of phones and have never used it in my outside life. i think being able to Sign through the phone is the BEST reason i’ve heard to keep going with the tech!

Every time 2 way video conferencing (from mobile) comes up, i always thing about the final race scene in Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift. Remember Bow Wow and friends posted up and down the mountain???

I could see this feature being useful for the hearing impaired as mentioned before. Rather than texting they could communicate with signing. On the flip side of that, most people don’t really use this feature, but I guess it would be nice for some to have.

video chat has been around the world for YEARS, and here is the kick…nobody caught on.

it turns out that people do NOT like to look at the person they are calling except for porno and BF/GF time, it wasn’t worth the network traffic.

but hey, lets hear it for another potentially year old tech, being touted as CUTTING EDGE for the iphone..

QUESTION:

*”If” the new iphone comes out this week, would it be cheaper/better to buy from the apple store or at&t?
*will i save money in terms of contract, or will i have better choice if i pay ‘full price’?

im not sure how these people work, i understood that the prices are the same from whichever……true? hope not…..

@
SellPhoneGuy Said: Just noticing the green LED in each phone is in different places…could be fake.

Good eye, I just noticed that too. I don’t think this is real either. They both look like those fake Chinese or Japanese iphone knock-offs.

I guess a front facing cam could be cool, if it is real. I would just need to find some iChat buddies

this looks fake. for a couple of reasons… why is this originating on expatriate website? the picture of the camera taking a picture of the iphone in hand is the wrong hand. presumably the right hand is holding the iphone, but the picture is of the left hand. I don’t know, I will be very surprised if this is indeed of the iphone

I’d totally love video chats to converse in sign language.

What’s with all the really bad gramar and spelling in the comments? The morons trying to crack on each other while using Ebonics makes you both sound REALLY stupid. Maybe you should learn English before you buy an iPhone or a Pre ?

Also I think the pics are fake and the iPhone will be announced Monday but released at the end of the month with a 3.0 update.

i would love the video chat, i think is handy for those people with far away family members….i use msn to see my mother in brazil, & if i could just use my phone on the go it would be f-ing awesome! i think is retarded that people in japan has that & more, & the usa still sooooo behind in technology…..i dont understand….

Video calling has been used in Europe and parts of Asia for a few years now and no one really seems interested in it there. I can’t see this being that big a deal at this point.

LP007:
“I can see that one you don’t own a PRE and two your lying out of your a$$. They let you play with the phone before you buy and they show you how it works before you leave the store. If the phone was bad like you are trying to make it out to be, please tell me why you still bought it? I’m sure you could’ve 1- just go get an iphone 2- keep your iphone 3- just wait to see what apple will come out with.

So please next time you want to talk sh!t about a phone you dont even own, do so in your head not when logic can clearly tell that you dont own the thing. LOSER”

Oh I love you, you simple minded prick. How on Earth could you prove that I don’t own a Pre? Just like how would I prove that I own a Pre? I don’t need to explain my logic or my findings to you. Fuck off fanboy, go get a Pre for yourself and I dare you to say anything differently than what I already said. And for the record jackass, I ordered it by phone and it arrived here yesterday. So do me a favor and back off my balls. You’ll see what I mean when your stupid ass drops 450 dollars to get one.

i have never had a need for video conferencing. if i did i would not trust it to my cellphone. i would think that if you had a need for it you would have a stand alone one with a better connection and better everything.

The right one is real but the left one isnt. In the left one why would you be able to only record video from the front one without being able to change it to the back one. Also the green dot isnt centered so its probably fake.

Wow – I’m impressed with the latest invention from Apple – who would have thought that 2009 would be the hear video calling on cellphones is invented?

I’d hate to be a Nokia exec on Monday. They must be quivering in fear that Since 2005, all their S60 phones (currently 40% of the global market) have been infringing on this patented 2009 Apple invention.

We’re about 24hrs away from answering all these questions what’s real & what’s fake. Im excited to see if it’s gonna be worth it for me to upgrade from 3g iPhone. I played with the Pre in the Sprint store yesterday & it’s a nice phone. It’s brings alot of freshness with the UI. The multitask is awesome. Only drawback for me was the small kyboard. Apple will have to come with it or many will be jumping on the Pre.

good advice to go try it out. . but I had a different experience with the PRE. Bought one and found the OS to be refreshing and very smooth. only complaint on the PRE is the keyboard, other than that the PRE is innovative and capitalized on a lot of things the iPhone didnt.

@LP007

Because its not possible for people to purchase multiple phones to try them all out during their free month? Oh wait, several people on these forums do exactly that. SORRY YOUR BACKUP PLAN ISN’T THAT GREAT. Go PMS about it somewhere else.
