The carriers dictate "what we need" in the US stanglehold of wireless. its the same argument why they have 5,6,7,8mp cameras and were stuck on 2-3mp still, thats all they think we need. The other factor is cost. Removing unused components like that save money on building them, also allowing them to sell them for a price consumers will actually pay. if theyre too costly no one will buy them. the structure in europe is much different they give away phones like the iphone 3g and diamond because their monthly service is astronomical compared to what we pay

but we already know the diamond/pro wont have it from the leaked pics and Telus version posted above. Its very very clear it wont have this component on it. its a moot issue no matter what anyone says at this point its been removed by leaked pics and the same Telus version already on their site

I will definitely agree it's a moot point. I was just saying that that the network is capable of doing video-calling...perhaps just different than the optimal method...
