And if there was a software out, I doubt that you'd get very high quality video. Remember SE phones can only do QCIF and most, if not all webcams do VGA @ 30fps.

I remeber there was a software to use the phone as a web cam. It is made mainly for k700, but I've tested it works on my w800 great as well. But the problem is the camera speed (the phone's processor speed to stream the pictures fast enough to use it as a web cam). So when you connect the phone it takes very long time to see the next frame. I mean, the first frame is now, the next is shown after 15 sec, so it is not useable as web cam. I think the VGA camera phones, has smaller pictures, and if they stream the pictures faster, it could work OK. The software I saw on this forum, but I cannot find the post myself. Try searching it.
Thanks

Hi there,
the software strizlow800 mentioned can be found on the bottom of this page:
http://software.hitziger.net/index.php?lng=de&show=programs&nr=7
it is called "SE Webcam", previously called "K700 Webcam" and it worked fine on my D750i flashed to W800i.
But it is not the processor of the x750i/w800i that is too slow to process the video/picture data fast enough, but the lack of a possibility to read data straight from the camera.
Which means the program cannot access the camera/video/picture data directly but uses a trick/workaround to grab pictures.
It sends commands to the phone so it takes a picture, then this picture is downloaded from the phone and then uploaded to a website via ftp, and as you can imagine, this takes some time for every single picture.
=> You get a refresh rate for your "Webcam" of about 10-15s minimum, which cannot be compared to a normal streaming webcam, sadly
Do hope someone will come up with a java application that acts as a camera server on the phone (as java is able to use the camera, maybe it will be possible to stream the picture/video data through a "server" program) and a corresponding client on PC...
