I have an i910 and recently when I tried to call my wife , under her name in the phone book was a video call tab. I am very interested to know how it got there.

I have tried everything and had no luck with GOOGLE, has anyone else had/seen this.

I am using VZOchat 1.2 for video calling now but it being on does not add this tab. any help????

i believe they just took the gsm i900, chopped and screwed it to work with verizon, but forgot (or neglected) to take out the i900 features. video calling being one of them.
but no deal for us being that cdma will not allow us to use video calling

you could use qik though

google it

im still trying to figure out how I was able to get the video tab in the first place.

When you look up a contact. You can't do video call anyway on CDMA.

the camera is not there...if you compare the I900 to the I910 you will see in the pictures the I910 does NOT have the front camera...

I know it does not do video call, I know it does not have a camera. What I am trying to figure out is why the VIDEO CALL option (button) appeared.

when i look at contacts there is no option, but one time there was.

Could it:

a:The location I was in had it enabled in the towers
b:something I did in the registry
c:fluke thing that happend

what gets me is when i saw it, i youtubed it to see what it was and on the i900 it was right where i saw it.

I already told you how it happened.

No US carrier currently suppoerts video calling. Beside for that you generally need two cameras. The US carriers moddify the phones to remove the 2nd camera.

I would call it a fluke.
