Smile Recommend a SmartPhone ? ? ? SIP (VOIP) + WiFi

As per title

I have used a SE P800, which got replaced by a P900

Just of late had a Treo 650 which is great at somethings camera and keypad spring to mind but reception is variable.

I bought the Treo as a temp phone whilst we all waited then waited some more for the P990 which by all accounts is at least two versions from usable

So recommendations please ? Really not into a M$ phone but if 100% reliablity is possible then do tell all.

Anyone running the newer Nokia's with SIP (VOIP) clients ?

TIA

Not sure what your getting at here but mobiles dont use VoIP, though some of the network functions will use the SIP protocol.

Well some SmartPhones do have a SIP client installed which could use either WiFi or 3G data connection for access.

3G would be a waste of time TBH. WiFi would be nice as it is something that could be useful when out and about

Just looking for suggestions . . . .

The P990 has had mixed reviews so maybe a demo when it's in the stores will swing it !

Anyone got one ? Come on give us a quickie review . . .

I've got one of these; http://www.eten.ch/DescriptionEtenM600EN.htm

Its far too techy for me, only bought it for a trip to the states, but managed to forget the charger- dcikhead! It have wireless and bluetooth, and skype built in.

Cost me a fortune but its now redundant- drop me a pm if its of interest

i too have a P990. Wireless connectivity is good but i have found the symbian OS and UIQ to be a bit flaky. really nice phone which does everything you could want. Downside Sony have only now started to put settings for WAP, GPRS and MMS on their global site. the uk site doesnt even have the phone listed as a model. bought a pair of sony bluetooth headphones, works great with the media player but not the FM radio
