Remember when cell phones didn't have built-in cameras, and now most of us wouldn't know what to do without them?!
Well the same thing is happening with video capture — a feature that is being integrated in more and more cell phones. Unfortunately my phones don't come with the feature, but watching Lauren Conrad take footage with her phone makes me want to be able to stream videos to my friends as well!
I know video recording on cell phones isn't a huge must-have feature for cell phones just yet, but if the quality gets better then I'm definitely going to cross my fingers that my next phone has a minicamcorder. What about you?

Any news on if the iPhone 3G will have this?
1Not so much. I have an iPhone and to be honest, I wish it had a better camera with settings.
2I do. I'm hoping the next iPhone will integrate with Qik. I don't want to have to buy a Nokia.
3while it isn't a deal breaker that I don't have it on my iPhone, I would love them to add that.
4Wow, I thought this would be old news 'cause I have a video camera in my crappy three year old phone.
5Honestly it's not that great. I have it and it's kind of shaky, but that may be user error
6Mine has 3 mega pixels so it is sooo very good for that, just got it for mother's day, def not an iphone user and never will be, but the flipshot is an awesome phone!
7Lifehacker has instructions on how to jailbreak your iPhone and set it up with video capture.
Most mid and high tier phones these days have video. It can sometimes be hard to locate. If you're not sure if you have it, try holding down the camera key for 2-3 seconds. That will often launch it.
8i already have a vid cam on my cell but just so you know, don't record while on vibrate, the video takes but the sound doesnt
9i've been a loyal sony-ericsson user, and they've had video capture for like... forever. i get the feeling it's been the same with nokia, who happens to be the only other mobile manufacturer who's vying for my affections right now.
10I honestly never capture video for anything.
11I think I have video capture on my phone... I just don't ever use it. Nor do I use the camera. The quality is awful, but I'm sure once they can cram a good lens and processor into a small enough phone I'll buy it.
12nope. i don't even take regular pics. what would i need a video for?
13i would be famous for postings on hotghettomess if i had this feature.
14I have video capture but I honestly never use it!
15I don't have a cell phone. :-\
16My phone already has video capture and a camera. I don't use either. I prefer an actual camera/camcorder. I'm not a big fan of all in ones.
17my last phone had video capture (samsung D600)
18I now have sidekick slide, and I don't actually miss the function! The only times I would make videos is with friends or at gigs, and my friends always use their digital cameras, so I don't have to worry.
Ok to give you info on jailbroken iPhone and video
It takes still photos very fast and it gives you the impression of animated movement, but not
real video recording! 
19Since jailbreak is the only way I can use iPhone here, I tried this programs that say they will provide VIdeo and zoom for iPhone camera. Well it just doesn't work correctly
I guess we will have to wait few more days, because we really need zoom, and some other software options for the iPhone camera
hmm im kind of confused. Isn't LC's phone streaming video live??? I dont have that feature but I do have the camera/camcorder on my centro phone. i used to use these features but they always took up all the memory on my phone which in turn would make my phone crap out and shut off.
20I already have it. I have the voyager.
21My phone has 5mp and the video capture quality ranges from TV high quality (mp4) down to MMS sharing quality. I don't know what I'd do without this feature. It really makes my phone an all in one gadget.
22I do have it but it's bad quality and i only get like 15 seconds
23My phone already has this (Motorola Q9m). For me, my phone camera and video camera are for capturing spur of the moment stuff when I don't have a camera on me. I don't use these features often, but I've gotten some really interesting videos and pics that I would not have gotten otherwise.
24my old crappy phone had it... but my new blackberry curve doesn't... it makes me sad.. but i'll get over it.
