Hi-Mobile sent us in the very popular Nokia N80 smartphone. While the phone was released about 10 months ago, just last month there was a brand new and free firmware upgrade that upgrades it to version 4.x which adds VoIP functionality. The upgrade is available for all N80 models, even the ones that were not released under the "Internet Edition" brand. Read more for our test.

If I understood you correctly VoIP with STUN should also be possible on Nokia E65. I tried to get my working with Gizmo and Ekiga, but failed. SIP settings always show "Registration failed" for both services (and I'm connected to my WLAN) Do you have any pointers? My software version is 1.0633.18.01 11-01-07 RM-208 Nokia E65.

You mean, the E65. The E-series is business like. They have some GPS client software in there and lots of Exchange/Blackberry/Office stuff. If you are working in a corporation and you travel a lot, you probably would need the E65. If you are more of a hobbyist, get the N80.

Yes, the E65 supports STUN, but it's Ekiga's server setup that is not as flexible as with some other VoIP services, and so it fails to register. To go around the problem, you will have to use a third party "open voip proxy", or install one at your side of your firewall in a Linux machine. The easiest way to do that is find and use a third party proxy that will do the routing job instead of Ekiga's server which obviously fails. I know of such a proxy, but I promised to not reveal the URL, so I am afraid you will have to do your own digging here... Nevertheless, Ekiga has more problems with Nokia's VoIP client, and so even after I got registered, each time a person using the Ekiga Linux client calling me, my phone would freeze. When calling me from the XTen client using their Ekiga credentials, the phone worked fine. So I guess, it all boils down in the Ekiga guys buying a Nokia VoIP phone and fixing their incompatibilities.

Yes, Gizmo should work out of the box. You can either use Gizmo's own "download script" that sets up automatically, or you can use their step by step instructions at Gizmo's support pages. IF after all that you still can't connect to Gizmo, then you probably have a very weird WiFi network that STUN fails or something.
After you create the account, you add it in the PRofiles, and then you go to the "internet telephone" application and do a registration there.

Ah, that would explain it... Yeah, you need the right ports open to trigger all your machines that might connect via DHCP. Unfortunately port forwarding is useless because you can only have 1 machine with a specific IP address to do forwarding to a specific port. If you don't have a netgear/linksys/etc wifi router, I am pretty sure the problem you are having is with your firewall. You need ports TCP/UDP:5060-5070 open.
