My brother just got the ICrap4... and he was wondering if he could make facetime calls with others phones than Apples. So we downloaded both Fring app and tryed to make a call. once i tried the app told me i could'nt do videocall because of sofware limitation....how come?

I could do video calls with my old non-smart LG Shine. but cannot do it with the X10?
 
No front facing camera, it does seem odd that you can't do video calls but in the last 3 years of owning phones that can do it I have only done it twice and that was when me and my cousin were drunk.

It does make me laugh though that after more than 5 years of phone doing video calls the iphone 4 now does it, but its still via wifi though (I think).
 
Not unless he built his own. Only one cam on an X10. I would assume however you could flip it around for other to see you as long as you dont care about seeing them or vice versa.

Or he duct taped a web cam to the top of his phone :)
 
The software limitation will be fring or whichever app manages the video call reporting no suitable front facing camera and blocking the video call
 
well, you don't NEED a front cam to make video calls, rogers gave this option a few years ago with the LG shine & Chocolate (slider), these old devices only have 1 camera. As long as the people you call can see what you see it's fine.
 
that page is not up-to-date but it clearly shows that we could do videocall way before smartphones came in the business (well blackberry had a monochrome display back then) that's about in 2006
