1: What do these values stand for? (120, 600) and What does it mean?
Keepalive period, usually seconds; here for wifi or gsm.

2: If i increase or decrease these values, especially for the gprs, will it have an impact on the battery life?
Yes, but also the connection could brake if you try values to high, there is a min/max value for your sip/voip provider. (My option could be 600 but is auto)

3. What is the best option for the keep alive mechanism - choosing from the 4 options - in order to improve the battery life?
That depends on your provider again... not all providers support both options, I guess auto negotiates or takes register as a fall back if options does not work. (I guess Off and Auto are not considered a real option in this case. My option could be REGISTER but is Auto.)

4. Did any of you tackle with this issue of voip/sip?
Nope, as batterylife did not increase noteably from SIP/VoIP but by turning off MSN and Skype!
