I'm looking for a SIP client for Symbian OS...
Someone known one? (free or not)

Unless Symbian has branched off of cell phones, I doubt it. SIP on a cell phone right now doesn't make sense.

Steven, I think it makes total sense. I'm currently in the process of
trying to source a better solution than my treo 600 in order to stay in
contact (looking at either ppc or xp with cf/gsm adaptor)

Anything that will enable me to answer my home and office and
international office lines from a single device using sip/iax over gprs
would be a boon in both time and energy and money saving.

It's no longer your grandfather's telephone network.

I don't think Steven really meant that it doesn't make sense. I think he meant that it isn't practical. I've read that latency on GPRS connections (even on the faster AT&T EDGE and Sprint VISION networks) is somewhere around 600 ms. I've never personally measured it, but I have used a Treo 600 on the T-Mobile GPRS network, and I can tell you that that latency is WAY too high to make any real phone calls. 200 ms is about the maximum latency you can really deal with on a VoIP call, but even that is really too high. At 600 ms, your voice wouldn't get to the other party forever, and vice-versa. It might be useful as a Nextel-like walkie talkie device, but a real phone conversation would be painful.
