Do you always type like that or do you work providing online ADVERTISING in the form of spam and junk comments to people who would otherwise not be interested in seeing ADVERTISING in their favorite sites.

I really don’t like ADVERTISING.

When I had my Nokia (before I am converted to htc Hero), I used VIDEO CALLING all the time with my wife, especially when I was in supermarket shopping for her.

Trust me guys, VIDEO CALLING saves your life and avoids buying the wrong stuff and getting blame for the stuff-up.

I love my htc Hero and wish it offers VIDEO CALLING!!!!!!

Wow I wasn’t aware video calling didn’t come to the US years ago like it did here. I’ve had it as a feature on my various phones for the last 2 or 3 years.

I can honestly say it’s the most pointless feature ever, I have never needed to make a video call nor has anyone I know. Quite funny hearing people talking about video calls as an exciting new technology whereas here it’s regarded as pointless and seems to be being phased out of our phones again (thankfully).

Maybe they will tie it into Google Wave.

I had video calling on my previous phone, a nokia – almost every nokia feature phone for the last 5 years has had it and outside america, that means a lot of people have them.

Never really used it, it was novel the first couple of times but there’s really not much point to use it to talk to people you see in person daily or weekly. People just want a voice conversation without having to worry about looking at their phone, holding it out infront of them rather than to their ear etc…

I disagree with the first comment. I use video calling for work all the time.

It is still nice to have. I am remodeling my home and sometimes I need to show some changes to relatives, and I don’t feel like caring my laptop around. So it is definitely nice to have, but if you don’t like it or don’t have a use for it, don’t use it. The same with any other technology available. I agree that video calling would not replace standard calling but in some instances I think everybody will find it NICE TO HAVE feature.
