    Sorry to say this, but FaceTime can't run on your phone (at least not officially) and probably never will. There are two major reasons for this:

    1. No Second Camera - The most central reason that FaceTime won't come to the 3GS or 3G is that those models have only one camera on the back, while FaceTime requires a user-facing camera. The user-facing camera is needed to take video of you while also allowing you to see the person you're calling on the screen. While the 3GS or 3G's back camera could take video of you fine, you wouldn't be able to see the person you're talking to--thus negating the idea of a video chat.

    2. No Software - Because their hardware doesn't support FaceTime, Apple doesn't make the FaceTime software available for either of these models, even with iOS 4 or higher installed.
