Brainstorm

Hi, I hope / belive it would be possible to make use of the camera to create a handheld 3D scanner with this guys work in mind: http://mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/~qp202/

User should be provided with an option of video call when connected to the 3G network. This fearure is available in low end phones then why not in NOKIA n900

A 2G connection is shown to be less power hungry than 3G. Since the N900 is an 'always on' data device, using 2G as its main source of data for low data intense applications (email/widgets) would make sense. However if you wanted to say surf the internet/stream music, 2G is just too slow.

Develop a maemo5 application that allows 3G video calls to be made using the N900's front camera. The application should work more like a plugin (maemo5 plugin or service). A "make video call" menu item should be added to the "calls" option. 

As powerful as the N900 is, it is important to include this feature. It is an important feature for a 3G phone.

Dear Brainstormers,

I was referred to this forum by bugs and Nokia themselves (for whatever that's worth). Anyway, I understand the hardware is finalized and it would be difficult to change but I am trying to get some sort of project going for the WCDMA 850/1900 MHz range support for 3G on US AT&T and the majority of South American, some Canadian, and some Australian 3G users. I believe this would greatly increase the sales of N900's and certainly make the experience for many users much better. I understand it supports the EDGE 850/1900 MHz range but how difficult would it be to make this WCDMA? Is it a huge hardware issue or can it be done through a software/firmware change? The provided PDF pictures should show the GSM chip somewhere, I'm not sure what it looks like.
