it's not like video calls will be standard. Most businesses will prefer standard voice calls. Plus with low bandwidth availability i'm sure it'll be pixelated and pretty crappy voice. BUT, it's a start! Think of it as a perk, sure it's crap, but it's something! Remember the good ole days w/those huge cell phones in the early 90s? Sure they were huge, low battery life, the signal was shot, and you were yelling on both ends, BUT it worked and gave you something. Not the best, but something.
That's what I feel about implementing video calls. As long as people understand it isn't streaming video that you get on webcams, i think it'll be a hit! Sprint and Verizon can really put a dent in AT&Ts iphone stronghold by adding these sort of features.
Ok enough of my 2 cents
