eng,

Though certainly not what Sprint has in mind for $10/month, meaning this would certainly trip up their excessive usage clause(s) if abused, look at this innovator - A Video Call.

I upgraded to unlimited Vision last week with an N400 phone. After being
less than impressed with the performance and capabilities of the internal
browser and all the other quirks of the phone, I received the data cable
from wpscellular.com.
After downloading the PCS Connection Manager software from Sprint, I was
able to get it up and running without any glitches at all. Made a
connection with the first attempt. I am using it with a 1 yr old Sony Vaio
800 MHz laptop. After being fairly impressed with the speed of surfing
(faster than dial up, slower than my cable modem), I tried what I have been
dreaming about for a long time.
I plugged the webcam into the other USB port and brought up NetMeeting.
Called my friend on the other side of the country to be the other side of
the conference. We were able to connect and get very decent video in both
directions! She is on a dial up connection but commented on the sharpness
and lack of drop outs in the pic. Next, we plugged in headsets to see how
the audio would work. The audio quality was very good, except for about a 1
second delay in each direction, which was a bit awkward, but, hey, we were
doing full 2-way mobile videoconferencing with my cell phone.
All things considered, I am really excited about the possibilities for
mobile video. This weekend I am planning to mount the webcam in the
windshield of the car and see how Vision works when handing off from cell to
cell.
Vision still has a way to go, but it has really got my imagination fired up
with possible new mobile apps. Has anyone else tried other video
conferencing apps?
