Apparently this phone did not ship with the ability to shoot video. My buddy has one, but has basically no idea how it works, and I’m the best resource he has on it. We tried a $1 video app that turned out to be shooting something like 5 fps. Is there an app that is clearly the best at video for this phone? I understand that the processor is a bit underpowered for this task.
