plexer Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Does anyone currently use or have any recommendations on GSM handsets with built in wifi that can be used for wifi voip? I've been looking at the Pirelli WIFI Voip phone which also has built in gsm but then realised that the nokia E70 etc... also do wifi sip. Ben
Ric_ Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 You could always opt for a PDA phone with wifi and install a VOIP app.
plexer Posted February 9, 2007 Author Posted February 9, 2007 I could do but don't really want all the overhead of a windows mobile etc... device. Ben
Tom_ONI Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Nokia are coming up with some good stuff in the coming months so I would look in that direction. As Ric says you can use a PDA with a client. This will work but WiFi does kill the battery pretty fast on a PDA/Windows mobile which could be a n issue. I believe the nokias are going to be more suited to the wireless environment. Its still pretty early days on the SIP front but I suspect longer term this will be the best way to go. cheers, Tom

Tom_ONI Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 This is what I have two, only under the XDA rebranding of O2. They are actually made by HTC and rebranded by the networks (though I think i-mate might be their own brand now) Windows mobile is handy for the number of apps/email etc. Is dead slow to boot thou and can throw a paddy from time to time Still couldnt live without it thou, far better than a backberry IMHO Tom
ChrisH Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I find myself clearing the memory before I launch such programs as Tom Tom and wish it was a little thinner but it's worth it. I will be getting something similar and faster whent eh time comes to swap.
SimpleSi Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Moi aussi (MDA Vario on T-Mobile) All that's missing is a simple way of switching proxies on the Wi-Fi regards Simon
john Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I am just about to change from an XDA2 to an XDA 2S. I love the XDA2 and hope the 2s is just as good.
plexer Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 I had my PDA and find it's good for scheduling/diary etc... and the wifi works well in range of AP's but I'm not looking to replace it with something that is a phone as well. Thats why I'm looking for a phone with gsm and wifi and may go for one of the nokias voip wifi phones should be coming out in droves this year. Ben
plexer Posted May 16, 2007 Author Posted May 16, 2007 Well I said I didn't want a pda/phone however just seen the new HP iPAQ 514 voice messenger in this months pc pro. £147'ish for a windows mobile 6 powered phone with wifi and quad band gsm and includes an inbuilt sip client. It could probably replace my axim which is mainly used for calendar functions and a few apps. Ben
john Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 If it is anything like the last HP Messenger PDA, it will be pants, and make a great paperweight
kuzo Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Well here seems to be silence for a long time... Do you have some recommendations for phones with wifi/GSM? I have no idea which standards are important. Should I choose a SIP phone? If yes, then SIPv1 or SIPv2?
Ric_ Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 The HTC Touch sounds interesting (iPhone-like interface) although reviews seem to be mixed.
plexer Posted September 10, 2007 Author Posted September 10, 2007 Well I've had my HP for a few months now and when I get my website sorted with a proper blog I was going to have a section for reviews of my kit. Sometimes the wireless locks the phone completely and you have to pull the battery out. Not been able to test wifi sip functionality yet as I'm moving towards that set up now. Ben
kuzo Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 The HTC Touch sounds interesting (iPhone-like interface) although reviews seem to be mixed. Yeah, really interesting, just a bit expensive, compared with cell phones.
