Why front facing camera? Does anyone actually use FaceTime? I will never ever video chat. I find it unnecessary. It will make using my phone for talking to someone even more annoying (yes, I understand how ironic that sounds).


My kids like to skype video chat with family members in other states that we don't see often.


I sort of agree. I see the potential for video chatting, and think it's going to take off in a big way. That said, given the typical lifetime of a smartphone (ie. 2-3 years), I don't see a front-facing camera as a priority right now (despite the fact my aging Motorola and SE phones have them...). In a couple years, when (or if) video calling takes off, then it'll be a priority.
