Indeed, wifi limitations aside, video calling has been around for many years on other phones, but seems very rarely used. When I first had a phone that was capable of this (a Nokia many years ago), I think only made a video call once when I first got it and was playing around with the phone. Still it could be handy to have in certain situations I suppose.
