Hi there,

I am currently using the Nokia N95 and am considering to switch to Touch Diamond, however I am very fond of the VOIP/SIP functionality on N95, is Does the Touch Diamond also support proper VOIP through SIP?

I don't think there's a built in SIP client, but there are a few third party ones for windows mobile. The main problem usually is that each manufacturer handles the 'ear' speaker differently, and without modifying the source code the sound comes out of the main speaker, unless you use a handsfree.

Haha...Or you could try modifying the wiring. :)

Has anyone tried the microsoft VOIP client?? If so any news on which speaker is used?? I have a hermes which works perfectly with the internet calling client but the Kaiser and Polaris uses the external speaker and itīs a bit of a pain.

Ditto. I would also love to know the answer. This is the biggest single drawback of the TyTN II

This is due to the fact that the VoIP can only interact with the system sound platform, not the radio/phone sound platform.

Headsets will work fine, as the ear piece handles both system sound and radio/phone sound.

Are any other SIP clients different?

Usually its platform/vendor specific how they handle the ear speaker. I remember way back CiceroPhone used to be one (comercial) app that was able to use the ear speaker.

Yes, it uses the external.

Is the GPS still working after installing VoIP ?

There is a thread that reports problems and a need for hard reset after VoIP installation.

Yes, it uses the external.

When I tried using the "destro0_VOIP_WM61" file to enable VOIP, sound was received through the internal speaker (ie...the normal speaker that you use when you talk on the phone). The only problem was that the volume level was low.

Installing the above file disrupted the GPS. It could not be recognized by any software, including the QuickGPS app. I had to hard-reset to get everything back in order.

Are you sure about this? It's just that, from everything I know, this is impossible from a hardware point of view.

On the Diamond, the ext. speaker is VERY close to the internal speaker. Perhaps you were just getting some bleed-through?

Hi,

you could use fring (see fring.com). Works fine for SIP and offers Skype, too (whereas the original skype client did not work on my Diamond).

Cheers,
