I'm still waiting for a little camera to appear on the front of my mobile phone so I can video chat while I'm on the go.

But the rear camera has an anemic.7 megapixels of still-picture resolution and no flash, and capturing video with a device the size of a magazine doesn't feel particularly natural.

Even if your friend doesn't have a video camera, you can still make a voice call or a 1-way video call.
