Samsung Epix Forums

there are caveats w. that thing…

its actually an additional service of AT&T, that requires that you either subscribe to it (sort of like a dataplan) or you pay per videoshare-msg. but AFAIK thats not cheap (alomst a U.S. dollar or so per video-sharing “msg”, if i recall right).

then you must be in a 3G network service area. EDGE will not work, as only 3G is capable of doing data-streams and voice-streams parallel. EDGE can only do one or the other at a time.

and third – the other one's PDa or smartphone must be also video-share capable in terms of hardware and software.

details about video share here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_share

I personally see it just as another way to rip people off their in nowadays weak economy's precious money. In addition Video Share is just one-way, unlike video-call. I disabled that video-share service. Not to mention that AT&T network has not much 'head room' left in terms of network-resources. Why else would AT&T always have the secondary camera (usually a QVGA webcam at the front side) removed from the original hardware designs ? QVGA-sized video-phoning takes 10-20 times more bandwidth than 64kbits audio-streams. Happened with the SAMSUNG SYNC and now with the EPIX, as those designs have been around for much longer in european and asian markets. here's the proof

http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=866 – it's been around since jan 2008. the webcam is near, where now the notifier-LED is located.

Its just sad that the asians are on the mobile communications technologies much more advanced than the western highly industrialized G8 nations.
