Skype on 3GS

I can't see the point of the video calling facility, as the camera is on the back! Whats the point?

I agree, but heres the thing. Skype is way more than just video calling. Its the quickest I have yet to use when it comes to just regular messaging, and as a regular call, its the clearest. there are other really cool tricks you can do with skype, for example, you can put skype://username?call in a specific contact card in the homepage tab and it calls from the contact card, versus opening skype and going thru that way. Its my fav. app, even though i have to turn the cam backwards, its still pretty epic! Hope this helped

I think that it's best to have skype for the 3GS with no front camera support than to not have skype at all on 3GS.

How do you do that then?
