I have a Motorola from 2003. It does video calling. Over 3G.

I like how no one's actually answered the question.

Yes, you can say that the Motorola did it because hardly anyone got them... But I only used that as an example, and that doesn't explain the fact that almost every single other 3G phone you can buy TODAY will do it just fine. And most people own 3G phones.

If that is the case then your beef is with the CellCos. Why not go over to the ATT Forums and bitch about it there.

BTW I forgot to let you know that 3G did not exist in the US in 2003. Another thing you got wrong.

I think it also has to do with the bandwidth necessary to produce the facetime. If you saw the keynote you'd see how it lagged a little bit. I don't think they can do that yet due to network limitations which to me personally makes it a pointless feature.

I'm sure it was just as successful as the iphone 4 will be.

Why are you assuming I live in the US?

Another thing you got wrong.

A lot were sold, they were very cheap, and most phones sold these days have a front facing camera - all of these do video calling over the network.

How often do you use it? Does it cost extra? What carrier? What country?

OK. Score for you. Now go to the forum of whatever crappy cellco provider has the iPhone in your country and bitch to them about your issue.

I don't use it anymore, I have since upgraded. I only wished to make the point that such a cheap, frankly bad, phone from 2003 could do something that networks are not letting the iPhone do - and I find that stupid.

The network (carrier) was 3 (Hutchison 3G).

This is in the UK.
