Is there any 3rd party software out there that will let you use the k750i as a webcam on the PC?

Where do you get the K700 Webcam Tool from if you don't own a k700? there's no such thing with the k750i

The problem is that the connection over BT is not fast enough to support the video and voice. If you are going to connect to a PC why not do the right thing and use a web cam that is designed for this function? It makes more sense than trying to get turn a phone into a webcam.

The k750i comes with a USB cable for the phone, great transfer speeds... took about 3-4 mins to fill up the 64mb memory stick with MP3s so it's pleanty fast enough data transfer

Don't really want to spend money on a webcam, don't really want a webcam sat on top of my monitor, haven't got a spare USB socket, but mainly just cause it would be another cool use for the phone

But that is only transferspeed to the external memorycard.

The phone itself and the internal memory still only use seriel speed through the USB cable, so transfering live video/audio from the cam to the pc is not possible.
