OK... that's really strange cause I thought we (Europe?... and Asia then probably) had two way video connections on cell phones for a while now (GPRS system?).
It's not cheap to do, but it's there... or at least here... depending who reads this tongue.gif

This is a link to my provider in the UK, you can clearly see the person on the other side, AND a little area where you have your own face wink.gif

Are they really that far behind in the US with cell phone technology?
