How do you video chat with this phone with other users?

Is there a way to take a screenshot of what you're phone is displaying? Similiar to the iphone by holding the power and key button at the same time.

I've been pulling my hair out about this!!! Apparently it's not quite ready for showtime. I installed Tango which works but only utilizes the rear camera making it completely worthless. It looks like all the other chat apps have the same problem as well.

Have you guys tried fring? I've gotten it to work a few times. I just installed it because was acting up. I'm not sure about taking screen shots though.

We used Fring last night but it was a terrible mess even though it worked briefly. Anyone else get a good video chat program to work yet?

I know I'm going to get flamed for saying this but at least the "other" phone has apps/programs that work. I see why there was no heavy advertising for this phone now. MSBing on a Google phone and a lovly front facing camera that works for self pictures but not a chat program. Oh...they'll fix that with the next OTA update maybe...

I haven't been able to chat with the front saving camera yet but did use Tango and the regular camera, kinda defeated the purpose but my ill grandmother got to see her great grandson and I got to see her while I held the phone. Not many people to practice ruth. Little bro has iPad.& iPhone so need a compatible app.

About the screen shots, you have to be rooted and install drocap from the market.

Front facing camera use tango or skype
