I have seen this phone in a technology demonstration for schools.  Although I
do not have specifics about it, it seem to transmit about 4-5 frames per
second.  The resolution could not have been above 100x100 or so. The b/w screen
in pretty small 3.5-4" in size, so the large pixels don't look to bad.
