ok this is a dumb question on my part but i've never done the video call before, and reading another thread led me to realize -
the at&t tilt doesn't have a front facing camera.

ok - so how does one actually look at the lcd while trying to let the other party "look" at you?
pose in front of a mirror???

Well I'm pretty sure you wouldn't use the 3mp camera on the back anyways becuase of the high resolution that would be streaming to the other party.

I'm fairly sure that once you begin a Video Call (on the front camera) you can then switch to the back camera - which operates at VGA level rather than it's full 3MP. The only problem is that the phones without the front camera tend to be on a network that doesn't support Video Calling across it's airwaves, so it'll never work on them anyway.

erm... so what does that mean?
that Tilt can't do Video call, period?

darn...
after using the BB curve for a while - some features that is lacking on the Tilt -

>a trackball to go left right;
>a flash to take better pictures (btw the camera is much more responsive
that the Tilt!)

>lighter piece

anyways I digressed...
if anyone wants to buy my tilt - .... hahahahaha
