Front camera for Xperia Arc

Dear SE Admins ,

SE can provide the Front camera as a ARC accessory.

SE can proceed with ARC's usb port to provide the front cam for video call.

So SE can satisfy ARC users.

You can do it yourself its not that complicated

you can probably get a "spy camera" like this and attach it to the micro usb port

Hmmm... Interesting. Would it actually work? Has anyone tried this?

I was also rather dissapointed that the Arc lacked a front facing camera when even the cheaper Neo model had one.

it should work but I don't know how much battery it will drain or how bulky it'll be

No offence, but how can anyone complain about a lacking physical feature after you have the phone?

It's not as if it was kept a secret from people, and it's not exactly something that can be fixed with a software update.

I normally like a physical keyboard to use when I play games, but I bought a phone without one and I don't expect SE to fix that.

Most people who use a front facing camera think about that before they buy a phone.

I agree, but I'm sure there's a way to add a camera, not just for videochat but it could be for other ideas, maybe 3D pictures or video

Was just curious that's all.:smileyhappy:
