Ideally, get a Android phone with front video camera. Install Skype and chat away.

Do check before buying if Skype is supported on the device, like I got a new Atrix 2 but its microphone was not detected by Skype.

Hey buddy your budget is a bit low for a video conferencing phone, but will suggest you if I come across one in that budget.



Skype is not the only option for video conferencing buddy, there are others too just Google them, here some of them I know.



* Fring

* Vtok

* Gtalk with a mod



Just check one thing if it does actually support video chatting/conferencing flawlessly in the first place.

thanks guys for all suggestions.



I guess I have to dig deeper, though I am less confident I can get budget phones with this feature as mentioned by cool eagle.



I'll post if I found one. Thanks for all the help.

The OPs requirement is a phone for video chat, the skype voice call works very well on many sub 10K android phones

Dude if you don't have any issues with the size of the devices then maybe you could try a low cost Tablet with video calling support.



Though I am not sure of any specific model but I'll post here if I come across one asap.
