I can tell you if you are on Contract with o2 then you are not charged for video callin unil 01.01.08. The video calling mins are part of you inclusive allowence.
So for instance if you have a contract like i do with 3200 mins, currenlty i can use all 3200 mins on video calling and wont be charged a penny 
If you are on PAYG with O2 then its 50p per min.
People who hasnt used video calling. go on give it ago. Its strange at first, but its great.
I use it when ever i can |

does anyone know if this feature is available on any network in US? I'm on TMobile and they never advertise or write anything about video call (on website/manual/in person). I'd really like to try one if possible. should be better quality than using an instant messenger on the computer?

As Dogmann says if you have kids it can be usefull, used it now and again, as with ALL features, i would rather have it and NOT use it, than not have it at all and be bereft of having the option.

I tried it once when I was on vacation in Germany, and I really liked it. I can't see it being something I will use very often, but it is definitely cool. Maybe someday we will get it working properly in USA . |

I rarely use Video calling but when i exprienced a bit of a problem with it.
I called my boy-friend who is on Orange and has the K810i as well. After 3 seconds it went to a Orange video voicemail messaging service and the phone seemed to freeze with an hour glass on the callers window but my video feed was ok. I had a option to leave a message using the # key or end the call which wasn't responding either so the only way reset it is take the battery out and in again. I tried 3 times and it did the same. When my boy-friend video called me it worked ok.
I tried again and rang my boy-friend and then transfered it to a video call and it worked. After that i tried using it though the menu and it worked ok.
I also seem to get disconnected or when ends and i try calling back again the same problem appears.
I phoned Orange and reported the problem to them and they told me they will pass it onto thier techinical team. They told me the handset may need to be returned if there is a fault. I think it it got to do with Orange's the 3G network rather than my phone.
So as you can now see my Video calling seems to be bit tempermental at the moment so i don't tend to use it.
