Does anyone know when tmobile will start offering video conference calls? The samsung Vibrant has a front camera, does anyone know how to activate it if it ever turns on?
It doesn't have one.

The International version (Samsung Galaxy S) and Sprint Epic 4G has front cameras. The Captivate and Vibrant does not.
I honestly don't get all the hype about front cameras. Why? What's the point?
It's new, untouched technology. Just because Apple marketed it doesn't make it a good idea.
Give it a year. I'm sure the "Galaxy S 2" will have one. Doubt it'll be a standard by then anyways though.
I don't know about you guys but I'd prefer to not have people staring at me while I tell them lies over the phone. Its just unethical!

The Vibrant does not have a front camera. This is an urban myth, debunked many times.

Yeah, that's what I used to think until...
I have an iPhone 4 and an i9000 (both have front cameras). I was testing both phones at the same time. I was going to return the iPhone in my first 30 days because iOS4 just isn't up to Android standards in my book. I also have a Nexus One on T-Mo that I mostly use as a WiFi hotspot.
I'd played with FaceTime once with my only other friend to have an iPhone 4. He lives in Florida, I'm in California and we wanted to check it out. No big deal on the first test.
One day I was driving to work and got the clever idea to connect the iPhone to the WiFi hotspot on the Nexus One. I then called my friend in Florida with FaceTime on the iPhone 4 and it worked just great over 3G. (You can also jailbreak the iPhone and use 3G Unrestrictor to just do it directly over the phone).
I had the iPhone 4 in a dash mounted holder and it was so cool. My friend's face was there on the dash and we were like in the car together. I still focused on the road, of course, but I could glance and see his face like you would with someone in the car with you when appropriate.
At one point he even asked where I was and I just switched the camera from front to back with the onscreen button and he then saw out the road as if he were riding in the car with me. Then I switched back.
We both really thought the experience enhanced the quality of our conversation. I decided to keep the iPhone just because of that.
So, yes, it's a new idea, and not a lot of phones have it, but even though Apple's ahead of the curve on that one, once more phones make it that simple to be face to face when you want to, it's going to change everything.
Nothing wrong with wanting a front camera in my opinion; those who do just are a bit more visionary than those who don't care about it yet.

Btw, I don't really have any feelings about the need for a front-facing camera, but that anecdote about doing an iPhone "video-conference" on the road via N1 WiFi is pretty cool. That' be a great thing to do while traveling.
Great, texting while driving is bad enough, now having a video chat while driving, please God tell me you don't live anywhere near me.

Its not that new. I remember there was hard advertising in 2003 in UK when carrier 3 got the 3g. Apple is always "revolutionizing" technologies that already existed for a while.
For front camera would be great for occasional video over ip calls, such as skype, or what fring did before.

Its not new technology. Hell, landline phones had video capabilities 10+ years ago, it never took off because its a gimmic. Facetime is a gimmic. Sure its nice but you will use it a couple of times for the "cool factor" then it will wear off, just like the Wii did with so many people.

You hit the nail on the head androidmonkey. I don't think it will last long. Very gimmicky. Now when data speeds catch up that might be a different story.
For example, when phones began including really cheap-ass cameras I thought what a stupid idea. And still did until this last year or so when the quality finally caught up.
The hilarious thing to me is that King Steve in his ivory tower piously looks down upon the masses content that he is keeping them safe from porn not realizing that the#1 use of his new phone is probably NOT facetime but *****time... lol

Androidmonkey is correct. Video calling has been around for years. Japan (and I believe Europe) has been doing this way before iPhone4. Just because Apple says its revolutionary or magical doesn't mean they did it first. Apple is full of ****. Their marketing team is great at making people into believing what they say. People need to open their eyes. Apple-lovers = lemmings,automatons, etc. And another thing, Facetime over wi-fi is nothing more than video chat like on your pc. Good grief.
What are you guys talking about... I use video calling on my vibrant all of the time. you can clearly see a camera to the left of the speaker

I thought it would be interesting to share that it seems like the iPhone 4 suffers also from a far from perfect camera, in this video it appears to have a nasty blue hue in the center of the video.
This isn't intended as an iPhone 4 bashing thread, so please don't waffle on about how you hate the iPhone, it was just an interesting observation I thought I'd share.
There's also a problem with the antenna in the new iPhone.
Let's face it: there is just no perfect phone! ;-)
I am sure that there are plenty of forums for iPhone users to discuss the faults of their phone - so I think that is where this thread should be.
I will show no schadenfreude at the iPhone's problems. As much as I don't like the total control of Apple, they did revolutionise the mobile phone interface.
ugh! Pee stains. I guess someone left a surprise from foxconn. =P

This is just brilliant, Steve Jobs, I salute you!
I've been hearing about the problems with the signal for the last couple of days.
It would appear that Apple are not satisfied with just telling Developers what and how to develope apps for their phone but now they feel the need to tell the end customer how to use the phone as well lol.
A more appropriate name for the iPhone 4 would have been 'iCommunist 4' lol.
On a side note, if the drop in signal is caused by the users hand conductivity, I would suggest just coating the effected area of the phone in a clear lacquer and this should resolve the issue.

Its time that reviewers got of their high horse and thoroughly reviewed the iphone worts and all.
But wait....its steve jobs baby so any negative would see a defamation case against reviewer...
Not to bash iphone or anything but did you guys hear the crap with that photons thing on the camera technology in new iphone..
The apple fans would have been salivating big time with that hoopla from jobs...

Jobs now wants iphone 4 users to hold their gem in a unique aficionado way...what next?

Now, HTC, when will you guys release the GSM version of the Evo 4G, quick!

My gf walked past the Apple store in Milton Keynes yesterday.
They had barriers outside to cope with 70-80 people.
There was 1 person in the queue!
The shop was open and had only about 10 people inside (including staff) but like an unpopular nightclub, they were forcing people to wait outside in a failed attempt to look like they were busy

I know what you mean. I ended up returning up my Evo yesterday, after going back to ATT and iPhone 4. I really liked the hardware of the Evo, I really love android, but Sprint near me is just a joke. I was getting awful 3G speed, and when the phone would hold onto 4G, which was very rare, the speeds werent too great. I really miss the Evo, and if the phone had a good network to support it, and some of the bugs were cleaned up, I really believe it'd be a better phone than my iPhone4. That said, the iPhone just works, and I can see why a lot of people are attracted to that.
can't say it was very funny.
.,i want to access the secondary camera on my X10i ( R2BA026 ).. is there anyone whos has the application to access it.. if none, is there any trick!? i want to test it..
There is no second camera.
Sadly, there's no such thing as a secondary camera or video call camera on the X10. At first I couldn't believe it too, but trust me, that little black lens on the top right corner of your Rachael is a proximity sensor
there is a small square, camera look-alike on the top on my white X10i.. i think this is just the so called Proximity Sensor.. Anyways thanks ..
.,same here, so much sad for that.. i though at the first it's a camera..

give me 50$ i will split your phone in half. 10% chances it will work afterward and you can do video call with the screen and the camera facing you.
Lots of phones made now do not have that front camera - but what the heck - who was really using that video call at the time since it came out?? I really can't think of one time it was to any good! Only deaf people have a little use of it, since they can "talk" via sign language...
And now Apple has reinvented video calling with their facetime - oh well then the rest of the world (read: incl. USA) can have a go on that one...

You would use it if you and your GF/WIFE is far away and require to fill that passion in the hole.
Of course, you also have to worry about whether your phone is being hacked and will share that video conference worldwide on youtube.

Well actually I have a gf in Thailand and at first I thought the X10 had a FF cam too. That was the deal breaker for me but when I found out that it doesn't have an FF cam, I got it anyways cuz I fell in love with the phone lol. Honestly, I don't think I would ever need that function on my X10 and plus...I keep all my secrets in my laptop XD
In Japan, all non-smartphones have secondary cameras.
In two years, how many video calls have I seen being made? One. How many times did I make a video call? None.
Video calls are more suited to laptops, not when you're walking around trying to get on a subway.

I came over from a 3GS as well, and I might not have, if it wasn't for the iOS4 update. My 3GS was jailbroken, and set up really well, but I'm a big cycling fan (loved seeing HTC-Columbia featured in that Desire video, even if I did have to watch that tool Cavendish win...like I don't have to see that enough already), and the Tour de France app was crashing on 3.1.1, so I had to "upgrade". Even after jailbreaking iOS4, it was just never the same. Except for the camera and display, my 3GS would have handed the new iPhone its ass, in terms of functionality.
That said, I'm a longtime linux geek, and I did want an android phone, plus the school I go to, their website is in flash, and I do homework through it sometimes...very doable on the Evo, impossible on the iPhone.
Oh, and now I get through phone conversations without losing the call.

Surprised nobody has commented on this -
Samsung is going to have a NINETY second spot during the superbowl!
A normal 30 second spot costs around 2-3 million bucks, and samsung is buying three of them! Whoa
The commercial is being directed by the Farrely brothers (There's something about mary, etc)

That's odd... people normally don't even notice how big the phone is when I'm talking on it... (possibly cos it's mostly hidden by my hands ).
People do, however, notice its size if I'm using it for other stuff like messaging or browsing...
OT: I'm really happy Samsung has been pushing this phone into the mainstream so much. It's an awesome device. And it'll be even greater with all the development support that comes from being a mainstream success.

Not a big fan of the commercial to be honest.
They sure didn't say much for a 90 second spot.
But I guess the whole point is to get people talking about the note, and then the Note will take it from there.
Is it this one?

Yah I was really looking forward to it too, but was a bit disappointed. Not even a mention of the 5.3in screen, just the stylus. The ad missed the mark IMO.

Dont let a Samsung employee hear you calling it a stylus
I hope they do something outrageous about it like it having a dual personality, a phone and a tablet, and it falls in love with an iPhone and follow it across the country. Oh wait, they already did that.
EDIT: ARRGH, my post is too late.
GIANTS won! Yeaaaaaa
Thought it was great! Really makes people think about a bigger better option, the Note. No hard sell just fun and entertainment, better than the half time show. The next three ads will do the rest. Haven't met anyone yet that didn't want my Note.
I won't say the Giants won as much as they just got lucky.
Waste of 9 million bucks. Terrible Imo
From the giant: Galaxy Note
why what do employees refer to it as?
Wish the ad showed some of the features of note, rather than people screaming around
Was really hoping for a much better spot outta Samsung on this one. Thought their previous commercials were great. Although i will say, i had 3 friends text me saying they saw a commercial for my phone.

^^^ This. If I didn't know what the ad was for (and I hadn't been following the Note for months now) I would think it was just another Android handset with that pointy stylus thing that Steve Jobs said was bad. Not a single thing special about it. Didn't feel like 90 seconds; seemed like it was over and I was still waiting for some tangible "here's why this thing is awesome" moment(s). Oh well. As the Note has done elsewhere in the world, I'm sure it'll sell itself on the merits as people start using them.
The add was lame. I was sold on the specs alone before the thing was ever announced (just rumored) ... Of course we have to remember, most people aren't nerds like us...
The downside to it's success is that, unlike the Dell Streak I'm writing this on, I wont be the only person I know who has one! When I whip out the Streak I always realize that no one has ever seen a phone like this. That is about to end...
The upside is of course that the development from this community, and the updates from Samsung should be great.
