I've been using the E61 for months now. SIP works great, so does truphone. Someone was porting IAX to it as well, but no word so far. However, do note that its WCDMA, not plain CDMA. EDGE works great on it as well, and the WIFI is just rock solid.
Finally, a phone a techie can really love, and who can beat two fingered full keypad typing at such a low price (i got mine for under $300 new). -wasim On 5/3/07, Begumisa Gerald M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Hey, thanks for these pointers - I'll look into them. > Are you looking to provide voip services to your users or create a niche > business as a provider for VoIP only 3G phones? Actually as previously mentioned there's a small provider over here with a CDMA network (not too big just a couple of base stations) and they would like to find out how to cost-effectively introduce voice. I was just thinking if there was a device which "knew" how to communicate IP over a CDMA layer 1 and had a SIP client, that's what they would have to sell their clients (then spend much less on a softswitch by using Asterisk for example). That's the idea..
