Story: Video phone sales 'struggling'

I got one...it is vgood. But the problem is that the NEC 606 needs a head set for you to hear the caller when in video mode. Most people dont carry a head set around with them. So when a call comes in they miss it or pick up the phone an say I see you but carnt here you. So what is the point of that. The NEC does have a externat speaker which is used for the play back of video clips - so why does it not work when makeing a video call.
Because of this it is unusable as a mobile solution. In order for me not to waist money by having a contract for a year at 35ppp I have set it up as an office video phone allways connected to the head set and never take it out of the office.

Sad really such a simple sort full makes it unusable for mobile. I did think of using it as a car phone, but I think that video calls when driveing sould have the same sentance as D and D.
