the video call is pointless to begin with,can only connect to wi fi and call to other iphone 4 users at the moment

dude, im dont want to be rude or or offense you or anything but seriously if you think its crap or anything, don't buy it because iPhone is not meant for you

Buy Android phone maybe?

About FaceTime (i always forget that name), give it sometime to evolve like other apps. It's not even out yet and here we start bashing it. Yes it's seems pointless making video call over wifi and only to iPhone 4 users but front facing camera and video calls have lots of potential especially to the jailbreaking community. It runs on wifi, some guy makes a patch and boom, it works with 3G and to other phones. Who knows ... just need to keep an open mind. BTW ... Apple just said it will operate on WiFi until the network there can cope with it.

p/s - I seldom see people do video calls on 3G even with other phones.

I don't think Jobs can stop third party developers from creating their own solution towards using the front camera for video chat that is compatible with other cellphone brands. Sure, it will look inferior compared to FaceTime, but at least it will appease the segment that wants backward compatibility with other cellphones and their video call mechanism.

Some people like their phone to remain 'virgin' and not JB. 

There's always a solution to everything. I'm just saying that with JB, the phone can be more than what Apple had put on the table for us right now. Look at MMS, cut and paste, Apps like BiteSMS (which I can't live without), multitasking (although not as cool as Apple did), Folders and lots more. It's true to what you said that " it should not be something that you have to mod/custom to achieve full potential" but sometimes people tends to be less patient to wait for Apple to implement those features (like wallpapers on springboard). Mr Jobs is a trend setter, not a follower. Thats why he do what he thinks is right (just like Dr M la).

What do you mean by "3rd party n app store (add on, but legal mod lah)"? Mods done from JB consider illegal? For me, why I JB? I want to extend the functionality of my phone rather that stuck on limitation imposed by Apple (using JB for crack apps is the dark side of the force). iPhone is a wonderful piece of tech, full of potential but why need to limit it's potential. Apple said 1st gen iPhone can't do MMS because of hardware limitation, SwirlyMMS proves them wrong. And if you want to wait for MMS to come to iPhone 1st gen as 3rd party app in the appstore, then you're out of luck. That's what I meant by saying JB as an option. Apple said can only use wifi and only to iphone 4 for now, the JB community might not agree to that and do what they did with MMS.

From the iPhone 4 tech specs
The Retina display is really just a super high resolution IPS (in-plane switching) LCD display found in the Apple Cinema Display and iPad.

Speaking of which, I found it interesting that new iPhone-native apps will have such high resolution that the blow-up in the iPad display won't send you back to the 90s.

engineered glass for the iPhone. Do we still need screen protectors and casing for this hardened glass?

Foreign companies cannot open an outlet in Malaysia without a local/bumi distributor. Since having a local distributor means <100% control, Apple being Apple, told us to go fly kite.
