ORLANDO - video call closely resembles on the new Handbook of BlackBerry. The main problem is, you can only talk to people with other rules.
RIM last night evicted an update of the os manual that allows video call using cameras of the face and front and rear of the shelf. While the video appears as an application in the app bar, the function is quite deeply pressed in bone. It is unnecessary to have the app to receive calls running.
To make a video call, you launch the app and add a friend. For now, you will have your friends add to hand by entering email BlackBerry ID address, because the manual does not have a native contact list. I hope that the application of video chat connects to the native address book app when it launches this summer, and other lists of contacts such as those of Facebook.
Buddies come without images, but you can add an image quite easily. A tip: take a screen shot while you are talking to someone, and you can add then more later that screen shot as contact picture.
The name of your friend, click to call and with a little luck you are talking about. First of all, you see a message "connection", then you are full-screen mode, and finally you see the person you are talking to, with your own image as a small image in the image. Using a button on the screen, you can switch on to the rear camera on an appeal.
Video quality is highly dependent on my network connection, and Wi - Fi here to the world of BlackBerry is variable at best. With a solid connection, I am clear, full screen video. Audio, in particular, was very good, screaming without distortion through two speakers-oriented to the front of the manual. But as the Wi - Fi tangué, the picture frozen sometimes. It will be very interesting to see how well video chat works on deck with a tethered BlackBerry on 3 G. I am currently using a flashlight, and now AT & T does not permit tethering bridge. At a given time, I received a message that the local firewall has blocked my video appeal, which may be a concern in the business envrionments.
A quirk interesting is that I continued to hold the complete manual of dependence; If I made it relatively close to my face, my huge search functions in the camera. That made me believe that the manual would work well sitting on a desk, in a case with a crutch. Call control functions include the opportunity to make calls only voice and a way of "do not disturb". I couldn't find a way of the Group calls; If I tried to call someone who was already on the line, I received a busy message.
What feature of video-calling of the manual really need, unfortunately, is a way to talk to other devices. Which may be possible in the future. When the CEO of RIM Mike Lazaridis described the application video-calling Monday, he said that it was built on popular standards, including the SIP. If the standards are quite open, it may be interoperable with other systems of video chat finally.
