Not sure what to say about the connecting issues. Retested with my wife this evening. I sent and received calls fine. Incoming calls used my normal ringtone and answered without incident.
No apparent way to move the preview window or turn it off. I really do not need to see myself, and it blocks a chunk of the remote screen which is annoying. No way to switch cameras so if I want to send high quality video of where I am instead of my ugly mug I have to use skype. Significant delay between send and receive on both sides even on wifi. Felt worse than on 3g, but video quality was better.
Still, transition from portrait to landscape and back was smooth and seamless. Sound and video were both acceptable if not great.
It's about the experience you'd expect videoconferencing from a cell phone.
Videoconferencing. From a CELL PHONE.
I know in 5 years that concept will be old, but my first computer was a TI 99/4a. Videoconferencing from a wireless phone makes me giddy.
