I can't use Skype because I have an iPhone 3GS which doesn't have the latest iOS (available only on iPhones 4).

So I don't really get your point.

Skype worked fine for me in Jan 2012, last time I used my iphone 3G (ios 4.2.1).

Voice/chat only, of course, because of missing front camera.

Actually on Android the video chat works without a front facing camera present.

Not sure what you're talking about, iOS 5.1 is out for the 3GS and even iOS 6.0 is supposed to be coming out for it. Maybe you only have a 3G?

I'm pretty sure i have skype working on a iphone 3 non-gs, anyway.
