I'm on T-Mobile, otherwise the Epic would have been on my list. And switching to Sprint wouldn't work for me because I want GSM since I travel frequently to Europe. If Samsung had released their Galaxy S Pro for GSM I would never have gotten involved with the TP2.

Re: Adding the front camera to Sprint TP2
 
getting back on topic, I would live to see a front camera on a TP2.

I love my TP2 and until VZW releases a WP7 that is 4" + screen, front camera and physical keyboard, I am staying with TP2 on NRGz custom rom.

Does all that I need it to do for now. Front camera would allow me to use Skype from my phone vs. having to dig out the laptop to do this.......

Low Tech Front Camera but Which Software?
 
Here is a low tech idea using 2 mirrors but the question is how to use it with Skype on my WM as Skype for Windows Mobile 3.0 does not offer video option on my Tilt 2 (ATT's TP2):

iSeeU $7 shipped on Fleabay. It can probably be modded for the centered camera of the TP2. I tried it with a 2 mirrors make-up thing to make self-portraits but how to get Skype with video on Windows Mobile? Links or tweaks details would be helpful.

Edit: Some make-up double mirrors have one of them magnifying which does not work good. I bought 2 Chinese ones @ $1 each & swapped the magnifying with the regular one of the other.

Probably a lost cause, just buy an Epic!

just buying an epic or an evo is the ultimate last resort...after everything else is tried, and probably still not....for a cheap geek on a $30 sero plan.

But by the time you buy the other phone and swap the camera section and buy the two mirrors and spend countless hours geeking and drinking Mountain Dew trying to get shit to work... You might as well have bought a less than pristine EVO on the interwebs... Just sayin.

Agreed, why spend all that money getting a TP2 front camera to work, when you can just spend $20 more a month for SERO Premium and get the Unlimited Data and GPS you already had!

The problem is not a hardware issue. Just like the fm radio deal on the cdma tp2 you could put the hardware in the device but someone would have to hack the spl in order to activate the hardware on boot and then someone may also have to write a software driver or port/hack the gsm driver. Anyone wanna go through all that? lol ;)

Ummm... it would be totally cool if someone had the ability and the knowledge to do so!! Good thoughts though, horndoctor!
