I'm on my second iPhone (upgraded), I've dropped mine more times than I can count, most of my mates have em and they drop theirs too, not one of them have cracked a screen Yea you can, through wifi, you have to have wifi and the person you are vid chattin to has to aswell, therefore being free.. My battery can last about 3-4 days before needing a charge, depending on how many games I play, but yea the batteries aren't that flash.. You either love or hate iPhones.. I wouldn't get anything else, might consider that galaxy thing I played around with that and it's pretty cool..
