Does the new iPhone 3G have video call or not. Cuz I can't see a front camera when I browse iPhone pictures. If the 3G stands for "3rd Generation" (the same way they title their iPods), then that makes Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) VERY insolent!!!

iPhone does not have a front camera it only has a 2.0 megapixels camera in the back. So it doesnt have video call. 3G doesnt stand for 3rd generation but it is a new type of signal that cell phone providers use like for example EDGE and 3G

No the iPhone 3G does not video call. They have in the works integrating the cameras directly into the screen pixel by pixel but it hasn't happened yet.

3G does not stand for 3rd gen of iPhones. Its the third generation of developments in wireless technology. It has to do with the towers not the phone. It is an accelerated, over air web connect. Its doubly faster then edge was (2g).

3G means "Third Generation cellphone technology." It can be applied to many different cellphones, not just the iPhone.

So no, the iPhone does not offer video calls. However, knowing Apple, it is definitely a possibility for the future!

I suggest using the service "Skype" in conjunction with a webcam in order to "video chat" with your friends. The service is free for download and use at www.skype.com.
