...and I've tried 'em all. The built in client's call quality is terrible, gizmo weighs 300 pounds and .. oh wait. Those are the only two options. (I'm talking SIP here before you Skypers jump all over me)

And then Fring showed up on me radarrrr. There's an absolutely horrifying thread here, another one here, an official website with a maemo .install that didn't work (for me)...and then finally after a google I discover this: fring_1.2.1.63-1_armel.deb. Sweet. Being the adventurous type I install it and...it looks designed for a 9 year old girl but is a better experience than any other SIP client I've used on the 770 or N810 so far! Actually if you have both Fring and the built-in client running at the same time and call yourself, Fring will begin ringing a good 5 seconds before the other! Taking a look at syslog seems to tell me that fring uses less complex and cpu-intensive codecs hence it's irresistable...workability?!?!?! Calls actually sound great and don't break up, don't have ten seconds of silence, don't ring 3 minutes after the other end hung up, etc etc.

SO IM STOKED! A SIP client I can use in conjunction with Google Voice/ DialCentral / sipphone.com that doesn't suck! Say the interface is ugly all you want (it is), this little app delivers. And you could use it as well to replace the built-in client's chat capabilities as it covers a lot of those too: MSN, ICQ, Google Talk, Twitter, Yahoo, AIM, and it has Skype Voice and chat support built in too....I hope some skype people will jump in and say their experiences with it.

I just don't know why this hasn't been received better. A simple dpkg -i from root is all that's required in Diablo. (edit: assuming you have it's required dependencies as someone pointed out later in the thread. Try using the N810.install if you have unmet dependencies.)
