I have been a VoIP (SIP) fan-girl for over a year now and as such I have searched for or tested lots of related devices, clients and clever services. This is a list with the best SIP clients on a wireless multi-function mobile device, read on for more.

There is something called AGEPhone, which supports various SIP servers. It's for Windows Mobile 5 QVGA and VGA resolutions.

Still I can't connect (too much setup hassle) with sipphone.com, stanaphone.com or others...

Good to hear! Let me know if it says that "no new version is available" for your language. You see, Nokia only updates the firmware for languages that a model sells well. So, if you need to upgrade and no upgrade version is available for your language, you have to use a special tool to change the Product ID of the phone, in order to force the upgrade (you will lose your language's specific support, but at least you will get the upgrade).

i'm using english. the upgrade went fine. i bought a card for asterisk a while ago so i could setup a pbx for my parents at work, but i never got a phone to test it out with, now i can. i just need to finish setting up asterisk. anyway thanks. btw i gave the video coversion stuff a try, but i had an issue with one of the settings in the picture. on my mpeg-4 export settings screen the video options button was grayed out. However, the quality is so much better than the first video i put on my phone. thanks for all the help.

If you like to test out your E61 with me via Gizmo, let me know (my gizmo number is in my blog's contact page). The Gizmo settings for the E61 are here: http://support.gizmoproject.com/index.php?_a=knowledgebase&_j=quest... (just use UDP instead of "auto" for the transports). You can have more than 1 SIP accounts configured and/or registered at the same time.
Regarding the mp4 video export, what did you use: QuickTime or MediaCoder? I made a major change/fix in my Mediacoder tutorial last night, so please re-follow it again: http://www.osnews.com/story.php/16983/Tutorial-Get-Your-Movies-on-Y...

i used quicktime pro. i only have 1 system running windows and i don't use it all. the nokia update was the first time in like a month that i have touched it. anyway i think they look fine even though i haven't enabled the resync markers option. i'll give gizmo a try soon. i think i should probably study for my finals tomorrow ;-p
thanks!

To upgrade: Do what it says here
http://forums.cingular.com/cng/board/message?board.id=nokia&message...
[update: crap, they deleted that forum post 
]
but only with two changes:
Use one of the product codes below instead of the two suggested in the article. The second change to the tutorial is that you should not install the NSU as linked from the tutorial, because it's linking
to an older version and instead install this version:

Wow, you will love version 3. I bought the E61 on suggestion from Eugenia, and I've been VERY happy with it. I have no problems with it as a phone overall, except one minor niggle with auto-retrieve and IMAP4 accounts. Other than this, the phone is truly super! Eugenia and I even had a VOIP call between my E61 and her E61 - I live in Hawaii - and even so the voice quality was FAR better than even a normal cellular call. Very impressive!

The Palm Treos can work with Articulation but you will have to be close to an EDGE tower to make sure that you won't have lag while chatting
I don't know much about wireless data service, but isn't it extremely expensive? If so, wouldn't it be cheaper to just dial over the cell network instead?

FreeWorldDialup works *like a charm* on my E70, 2.0something firmware. It was able to pierce every NAT I've thrown it into, including a pretty weird dual-NAT setup (one XP ICS setup which the soft access point creates to enable using the WiFi adapter as an AP, IP range as default, 192.168.0.x; and this behind a standard home router, set to deliver IP addresses in the 10.0.0.x range). *Zero* configuration required on the router. I'm either damn lucky or FWD is just that good. I'm eagerly awaiting for them to offer some PSTN gateway/callout service.
SIPphone (Gizmo) also works decently well, but only when the router is correctly configured to forward ports, and the "onion-NAT" of course did not work.
Props to Jeff Pulver, his FWD service is outstanding, and thanks to SIPbroker gateways, I can call any SIP numbers I fancy. And a note to SIPphone: guys, get a grip 
FWD could manage that NAT thing, and they have NO revenue sources (yet).
P.s.: the pbxes.org trick works only partially with the E70. Perhaps it's the lack of STUN support or something; all I can say is FWD just completely nailed it.
Member since:2005-06-28
Either FWD has "reverse NAT" support, or, you are using the two different proxies for it. One is the normal SIP proxy, and the other one is the outbound proxy which is used only when problems occur. I had to use that second proxy from FWD to get Ekiga to register on my E61 for example (even with the 3.03 firmware version).
So, yes, it depends a lot how each SIP service is configured. FWD is one of the very solid ones. But I promise you, your E70 will have trouble working with most others directly (as you have seen with Gizmo already). Gizmo will work out of the box too after and if Nokia offers an upgrade.

I'm a real newcomer to this stuff, but in a couple of days a higher-end Nokia (N73) is due to arrive that can handle at least some of these things, I hope.
I wonder if some of the knowledgeable mobile users on here could suggest a few things. Like, the top 5 or 10 third-party Symbian apps you can't live without (er, if there are any), and the best websites to bone up on all this and for downloading malware-free quality stuff. I haven't a clue myself.
OTOH, perhaps this is OT and it would be better as a separate article about making full use of your mobile phone (rather like an article on getting started in Linux, for example).
