With all the talk of the new iPhone having a front facing camera, and the new HTC Evo already having one, I am wondering if anybody is actually going to use them for video chat. I just don't see myself holding the phone out in front of me while I walk down the street. Do you guys have another use for a front facing camera?

I would, no one said you had to do it while walking down the street, what if you were sitting in a cofee shop, or at your desk.

If you are at a coffee shop or a desk wouldn't you have WiFi and be able to use a computer?

i never use the front facing camera for any video calls on the regular cellular network. I only use it to take self portrait and video call on skype via Fring

I probably wouldn't use it for video chatting. I barely video chat on my computer. I would only use it for taking pictures of myself or myself with friends (for profile pictures, etc) If I ever do need to video chat, I'll probably have access to a computer with a webcam.

Yes, but mostly still talk by voice only because I have very short conversations.

I wouldnt use it since i actually have a camera if i want a photo and for skype,ichat etc i dont think would be a good idea anyway since the screen is too small and id rather use my laptop like noaheoroberts suggested
