In Nokia phones we can choose to activate the front cam to take pics.
Is there any app that does this for SE phones? (Mine is W890i)

We can also use a flip image of the camera as a mirror, if you get what I mean.

I think it can be made one for the newer (DB3150) platform phones, but not sure if their java engine supports the front camera (3g apps) yet...

When we are to smartphone UIQ3, I'm pretty sure that there is a way to make an application that will take pictures with the front camera from the P990 or P1 for e.g. as the UIQ platform offers many more features compared to the java software platform.

Why would anyone want to use the front cam on 3G phones for pics ?
They are VGA, or even worse : CIF, so you'll get crappy photos.

That's right, but it may just come handy when you want a quick prtrait of yours . Anyway, it would be the best to make an app which will enable the front camera to be used as a web cam... That one should be the best

Yeah but the point was taking pictures with the front one (or using it as a web cam). We all know it's resolution and quality sucks, but it is interesting having the feature to take pictures with it after all

Yeah I know there was webcam but for old phones, and the streaming was too slow... We were talking about something new that supports new models. Smartphones asawell.

Very. Even if we couldn't take pics with the front cam, I'd appreciate having a mirror.
