Oh yeah Asterisk. I spent a few hours last year to build Asterisk for
ARM. On a Nokia N810, which runs proper Linux (Maemo), it ran right
out of the box, without any compromise. I am sure you can figure
what's on my holiday wish list. It'll be interesting to see how that
plays out on a carrier network. It's two, three years already that
orange kicked out a handful of MVNO's that sold SIP/RTP services on
orange's UMTS network, so it might actually work decent enough.
Personally, I've tried SIP/RTP on a UMTS network some three years ago,
and with limited testing only, I found pretty heavy latency.
Roman - in TCP/IP terms Asterisk isn't a server, it connects to
VoIP providers like a SIP client. AFAIK NAT traversal is an issue only
in a few special cases. Using a provider that supports IAX2 should
help, too.
Meanwhile at the ranch... From what I've seen, SipDroid isn't, to put
it mildly, up to snuff. As much as I would like to tackle such a
project, there's no solid case to commit resources to develop a SIP
client, considering how Google keeps coming out with their own apps
and telco solutions.

Can Android be used as Virtual PBX. This means that, it can work as a

Not really clear if you mean android in the sense of currently
available phone hardware running it, or in the sense of the software
platform itself.
If the former, then provided that you mean wifi and not 3g then its
probably doable, though you might find it easier to just run asterisk
on the hardware without android. Doing it seriously via 3g is
probably not worthwhile. And bridging between voip and the cellular
voice channel is not supported on any of the current phones (no access
to in-call audio from the linux side).
If you mean the software platform on some other hardware (beagle
board?), maybe as a gui front end to configure something like
asterisk, that could be interesting... probably more a topic for the
android-porting list though.
You do know about asterisk embedded linux pbx, right?
