With the exception of 4g, other phones have had similar capabilities in the past. I'm exticed that they are all under the same hood on this sweet sexy device! In all seriousness, I'm excited about the video chat capabilities. I have a 5 year old that I adore, and even though I can video chat on my laptop while I'm away, this just gives me another quick and easy way to stay close to my favorite person when I'm not at home. PLUS. when I am home, I'm looking forward to entertaining her with the 4.3 inch screen, and her favorite movies. Parents out there, this is gonna be a great tool for the little ones!
