Hello all:

I am considering buying a HTC X7510 (with the front camera). One major attraction for me is the ability to do video calling (by Skype or perhaps another service), and the front camera in the X7510 seems to be useful for that purpose.

I did a search of this capability and it appears that in the US neither ATT nor T-Mobile offer video calling capabilities, but all posts I have read are dated from 2007, so I am wondering if this situation has changed.

So, I'd like to know if video calling in the US is possible, and if so, if it is possible on the X7510.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not in the US, but I also partially chose to buy a 7510 instead of the 7501 because of the forward-facing second camera, which I intended to use with Skype. (Not that I'm anything special to look at, but at the time my grandson was on an extended stay overseas, and loves to see the tractor and farm...)

Well, to answer the question about Skype, their mobile version doesn't appear to support video calls - what a bummer....
