PureMobile sent us in the GSM version of the HTC Hero, one of the most popular Android-based smartphones out there. There are already a number of in-depth reviews about this phone out there (here's one), but here's my own take on what I liked, and what I disliked.

False alarm! The registration only works once every ~TEN retries. And it unregisters all by itself after a while, and then fails to re-register. I am afraid that SIPdroid just doesn't work properly on my network. I have opened the UDP/TCP ports too, just in case, but no cake. Other iPhone/PDA/PC clients on various platforms don't have a problem registering btw. So I am inclined to believe that this is a SIPdroid bug or incompatibility.

Using the SVN version of sipdroid (http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/source/checkout) works better than the Market version.
Also if your Asterisk has "qualify=yes" in its configuration, then you probably need to apply this patch also, otherwise Asterisk will mark the phone as unreachable: http://code.google.com/p/sipdroid/issues/detail?id=109#c16

I had tried that with a G1 and it didn't work. I tried with the Hero, it didn't work. Opening a UDP port on my router, didn't help either. However, I just managed to make it register by changing UDP to TCP. I will update the article.
