My mobile does not sound terrible, does not have echo, does not fade in or

I've never heard a cell phone on the other end that I couldn't tell was a cell phone, even on a good day. They compress the audio so much it's rather obvious. That may vary by carrier, AT&T and Verizon being the largest in the US are both pretty awful. A fun test is to call a landline from your cell in the same room and note now long the delay is. I find it long enough to interfere with conversations, people talking over each other (especially when both are on cells from different carriers.)

None of the carriers really offer a phone that can do SIP, as far as I've seen. As soon as the iPhone software 2.0 is out, there will be one for that.
