Nokia pimps its rear cameras, HTC the front ones: watch a demo of the HTC 8X wide-angle video chat cam
One of the differentiating features of the upcoming Windows Phone 8X by HTC, is its front-facing camera, capable of 1080p video recording for the first time, but also featuring very wide 88-degree angle f/2.0 lens, that allow up to four people to fit in that annoying video chat you are prepping over the integrated Skype.

Now we have a live demo video of that same feature, and it is indeed something to see such a large amount of the surrounding environment fitting into the frame, making it a perfect fit for both those live streams of the family Christmas gathering, or your next frat boy party.

The HTC 8X also sports a dedicated audio amplifier, which was demonstrated to pump out some deafening sounds, so you want be left asking "What?" after each sentence either.

I am really liking the innovation on the Windows Phone smartphones... but the OS is just so limited! :/

Wp8 is less limited than wp7/7.5 and is in many ways great,different and beautiful.....just check the videos on YouTube

WP8 will share the same kernel at Windows 8 – meaning native C/C++ code support (allowing game devs to use the Havok Engine etc.), Direct X hardware acceleration, and very little effort to get regular Windows code running on a WP8 handset.

Expect BIG things.

How can you state that when WP8 hasn't even been released for viewing yet? I call BS.

Who cares about front camera... do you always use them?.. i think not...

Well unless your some sort of third person omniscient in the story of my life it doesn't really matter what you think. I use Google+ Hangouts everyday.

other than that occasional self portraits... but in total not all people uses front camera everyday...

Your really missing out. You should start using your secondary camera more. It's awesome, really!
