Many Variables ?

Wow now you scare me more than the "2 minutes it takes" scare I had before.

Se this is where the simple vs complex issue become muddled. For you - an experience and savvy computer user setting up a PBX on your machine is easy, so setting up the N800 is super-easy for you.

Now don't think this forum users - think a N800 user - your parents, my parents, an average joe's grand parent and rethink all the steps again with them in mind

a) Its easy - just setup a PBX server on PC
b) on N800 install a SIP client - from a, b, c choices which each do three different things
c) setup the ports to allow these services on router (assuming they are doing over Wif, or what use for a NIT)
d) on NIT setup username posrts, password or whatever else you need.

See, at much before this point, my poor parents would have said - why don't you just use a regular phone and call us like a good son. We dont need video.

And I wouldn't be too off to say most average users are like this.
You have to take yourself off from your savvy computing self and put yourself into a a coomon user shoes when you think about why some apps are so popular because of its simplicity and why some arent.

This thread was about Video and how simple it is on the NIT with the built-in google chat client.
And thats where the SIP clients have to take their apps too - to get broad usage I believe.

IcelandDreams - I don't mean to not accept your point that it isnt too hard if we are willing to put in some time,
but if you think from another's standpoint, for some people its not a simple thing either notwithstanding those 20 mins of complex jargon and cryptic commands and different options.
