Video Call with Nokia N800

So, let's talk a bit about video calling with the Nokia N800. Nokia N800 is compatible with the GoogleTalk service, and extends it by adding video call capabilities to it over the XMPP protocol. Now, there are two ways you can have a video call: the first is calling a friend with another N800.
You have been a quick purchaser and don't know anyone with a Nokia N800? No problem, you can still video call by using a dedicated application for windows PC that Nokia has developed to allow video calling PC users from your Nokia N800!

Using the feature, enabled with a software update already available for download: 2.2006.51-6, is very simple:

  1. You must first create an account in the dedicated server by tapping the contacts icon and selecting "Send call invitation".
  2. Just input your preferred nickname you want to use for the feature and that's it: account created
  3. Invite any of your friends following the instructions

Your friends will receive the invitation, which will redirect them to a web page, containing the instructions to download the software. The web page looks like:



After the installation and authorization to see each other presence video (or audio only) calls can start! This feature is in development progress, you can contribute with your suggestion to improve it to make it even better!!

Dear Anonimo,

that's true. But the post is older and I did not care to remove it.
