text: The PC.....   with its camera and mic capabilities is far better than any type of "calling".....  Why would anyone waste the extra money like that???  Understandable that one may not have a pc with them when they wish to talk with someone but isn't that what laptops were designed for????  \n\nSo far as price/cost is concerned, forget the phones/cell phones!  Actually, I believe many cell phones already have internet available as well.  (If its not part of them yet, cams for them should become a part of them too pretty soon).
