I installed a great application for my N8xx the other day. It is called "DialCentral". Written by Eric Warnke (a.k.a Brontide) and Ed page.

DialCentral is an application which streamlines when I use my Nokia N8xx with the GrandCentral Click2Call function and GizmoProject's SIP service.

1) Have your N8xx connected to the Internet. Have Gizmo and DialCentral installed and running on your N8xx (OS2008 required as of this writing).

2) Enter your GC credentials into DialCentral (only necessary the first time).

3) You key in the phone number of the party you wish to reach on the touchscreen of your Nokia N8xx Internet Tablet, then press "Dial". No stylus is needed because the DialCentral buttons are nice and large.

4)The DialCentral application causes GrandCentral to callback your Gizmo Account (GC Click2Call). You answer the incoming call to your Gizmo on your N8xx and very shortly thereafter you are connected.

Future DialCentral usage does not require reauthentication...just dial on the DialCentral keypad to initiate calls.

It is GREAT ! My Thanks go out to the developers of DialCentral.

(NOTE: Don't use this if you intent to check your voicemail system for messages or call companies/firms with menu prompts. GrandCentrals C2C doesn't allow it. As stated above, this is not a limitation with the Nokia N8xx or DialCentral. GrandCentral blocks the DTMF tones at this time. If you must call a recipient that requires you to press DTMF tones to "get thru" you'll need to use another means. Gizmo DOES work for that, but you'll dial direct with Gizmo at 1.9 cents per minute as of this writing.)
