ok i found out how to do this on another msg board but although it works its abit annoying...

1st u need remote p800 on ur fone and pc
2nd u need "softcam" just search for it in google

once thats installed open remote p800 on ur pc and fone and then open comminicam. now open softcam and click "live" at the top. and in the preview window click movie. now u should c a yelloe/brown rectangle on ur screen and drag this so it fits the communicam window in remote p800. now u can use ur p800 as a webcam! although a major problem....just open a maximized window and ur friend on the otherside wont b able to c u! basically just go buy a webcam... hope u understand but its all really simple u can easily work it out!

u can get softcam here: http://www.luminositi.com/

if u guys still dont quite get wot this is heres a description of the program from their website.

Luminositi presents SoftCam™, the first software-only camera for the PC.
Don't have a real camera? Use SoftCam to stream your own creative visual effects instead!
Use SoftCam with your favorite video conferencing applications - Microsoft's NetMeeting™, Cornell's CU-SeeMe 1.0, iXL's iVisit™, Cybration's ICUII™,and many others.
Already have a camera? SoftCam is the perfect enhancement, allowing you to switch dynamically between multiple live and stored sources.
Get SoftCam Pro with the WaveMux™ Enhancement to add fun sound effects or to blend your voice with an AVI's audio.
Use the screen capture tool to stream your desktop in realtime. Use FloatIt™ to plant your favorite bitmaps around your desktop as information markers.

the program can basically stream a movie for example to ur friend via msn messenger webcam...have fun

So I need a bluetooth to do this, right? I can't do this via the syncstation alone? Sorry for the innocence.

@Oco
I don't know spanish but it looks like an alert on the Cool Web trojan. Did you get it while trying to download this softcam?
Knowledge is two fold. Knowing a subject or knowing where to find out about a subject. I rely on both... That is why I come here.

Very nice.
Got it converting the .bmp to jpegs and uploading to website. Shame I have to keep clicking grab though.

Need a free version too:

- free remote p800 (vnc for UIQ?) The commerical one is rubbish anyway! Unreliable connection. OpenSource would be alot easier to work with.

- proper webcam server
