I wonder how relevant this will be; I had video call capabilities many years ago with several devices like Nokia and others and, honestly I never used it. Same with a lot of other people I know.
It is a nice addition but not one that will compel me to replace my HD 7.
Actually I am set with this "transition" OS and I will wait until WP8 or whatever will be called to decide what to do as far as choosing my new device.

I wander if this Tango is another video call service or is it some sort of Skype integration or somehow compatible with Skype. I used Skype video calling a lot on my iPhone 4, now that I replaced it with WP7 phone this is one feature that I miss the most.

I would hope a Skype compatible IM/video app appears shortly for Mango devices. MS owns them (Skype). It appears to be the most cross platform supported such capability out there.
