Front Facing Camera on O2 2.1

[Guest mellytime]

I noticed that the front facing camera wasnt working on the leaked version of the 2.1 update today while tweeting I saw a few people say that the FFC wasnt working today after updating can someone verify please.. Now this is not a deal breaker for me but one would think that Dell/O2 would have caught this if indeed they have plans for video chatting on this device. :P

Just looked on the camera apps I have, including the default and I can't see any way to select the front camera. Very silly to add a camera on the phone if we cant use it

All part of the mess of the official 2.1, I'm afraid... Worked fine in 1.6.

You'd think at least one person over at Dell or O2 would have noticed and mentioned "Hey, you do realise the front camera doesn't work, don't you?"!

It's working for 3rd party apps like Fring, just no more option to choose it in the default camera app.

Check some of the other camera apps to see if they are supporting it.

I noticed that when you put the phone in fastboot and you run calibration, it does test whether the front camera works because I see my ugly mug come up in a box (at very low FPS). So why is it so hard to get the apps to use it?
