[Mathrubootham]

This phone has a very good front camera. I know that it is made for video calling. it is possible in 3G network. But i would like to use the front camera for skype video calling. Does this phone allow the app to do that?

Support for other models probably come later.

Wait and see

If you try to call a device that has Skype and video calling is enabled in which you'll see that it works. The Dual is not "certified" but the video works, so much after installing Skype warns you that the device is not certified and that the quality of the video could be not as good as a certified device, but allows you to activate it. So ... make sure you have the latest version of Skype, enables video calling and go quiet

Skype 2.1 came out today, that will also support Android 2.2 devices at some video, but ONLY with the rear main camera, so rather useless. Whether that support LG Optimus Black I don't know. Otherwise there is a Skype-Mod, which allows the device to our neat FrontCam for Skype video telephony use. Just stumbled over it at XDA.. Try it out if it works for you as desired.

To find the advantage of native Skype pre-installed in mobile design and features of the LG Optimus Black will remain identical to current. Apparently, Telus and Skype signed a partnership to create a "Skype Edition". For those who use it, the advantage is the possibility to load Skype Credit directly on behalf of Telus. Of course, the mobile has a front camera which will act as webcam with Skype and other existing applications that manage it.

The LG Optimus Black is now available! This device running the Android platform offers a new experience to use because of its connectivity with Skype. Indeed, it allows the use of Skype to make international calls at lower cost. TELUS will also offer a $ 60 Skype credit to the commissioning of a unit.

This new device is extremely thin and very stylish. It has a 2 megapixel camera to the front and a 5 megapixel camera back. These cameras allow video calls using Skype.

When using Skype the camera option in the LG OptimusBlack says it is not yet available. It had to happen with the next update of 2.3, which should be available very soon.

I just try and not work with the front camera. Only works with the rear camera ... The truth that supposedly do not understand how this Skype does not work normally. If you are not interested. But if you have the video Fring call from long ago, even has multiple video call up to 4 people, and operates the camera front. What's more you can switch, front and rear, during the call itself by clicking on the icon.
