Re: N810 as a phone
 

I wish my experience were so good with Skype. I find that it's GREAT Skype-to-Skype but is substantially worse than pure Skype or pure telephone-to-telephone when calling a regular telephone. I get dropouts, echo, delay, etc. When it's Skype-to-Skype, it's actually better than phone-to-phone quality. None of this is specific for the Tablet; I find it the same using my laptop.

Re: N810 as a phone
 

I find Skype's Skype-to-phone quality varies dramatically on location of the phone being called. Calls to Europe are beautiful, calls to Canada are mediocre. I think it is the POTS that Skype uses in North America; cheap and crappy.

I'm in the process of having my old cell number ported to gizmo5-then I'll cancel my cell. Where I live optimum cable co. gives wifi for free eveywhere if you use them for home internet.

I started with skype but the app for the n810 doesn't match up to the gizmo app. I'm hoping that google buys skype so I could use it on an android tablet in the near future XD

Re: N810 as a phone
 

I use Gizmo SIP with the built-in Internet Call application. I also have an Asterisk server at home that enables me to dial in using a local number, obtain a dialtone,, and then dial out using my Gizmo account. This allows me to make long distance calls from my cellphone without incurring cellular long distance charges. When the Maemo5 device arrives, I'll likely drop the cell altogether..

Wont that become a cellular device?

The RX-51 will be a data device. Most people will probably use VoIP on it via the HSPA connectivity.

Re: N810 as a phone
 

okay....am trying to do this free call thing.
I already have RTCOMM and a SIP phone # via Gizmo.
when I make a call my gizmo account balance drops. Am on wifi already.....how do I set this up???

What's up with Grandcentral??? I requested a account 4 months ago???

Re: N810 as a phone
 

i use the default sip client on the n810 quite happily with sip service from both teliax and junction networks and my office asterisk server. i like having a little more control than gizmo or skype allows.

call quality is good, a little echo sometimes but much of voip has that depending on your connection. i think the speakerphone of the n810 is actually one of the best i have used for voip.

it also helps with some more restrictive wifi spots if you setup one of your sip accounts to use nat and stun but if tghey block everything but 80, not much yhou can do.

Re: N810 as a phone
 

all this is a little complex....there has to be a simpler way.

How about DECT 6.0?
I Have a wireless head set that can connect to a DECT 6.0 phone.
Any body have a clue what kind off wireless technology this use?

am thinkin a N810 should be able to do the same.
any ideas????

this way i could use my house phone on my tablet.
