Nice "essay" Nikolai. It seems easier with sipdroid than my iphone 2g (for 3g+ there is talkatone app that seems to do what sipdroid does - dial in / out from a single app). In my case I have to leave a softphone (Linphone) open in the background (this requires a jailbreak app - backgrounder), then use GV Mobile jailbreak app to dial the # I wish to call, then pop back to the backgrounded softphone to answer the incoming "outgoing" call. Also no automatic setup / configuration for pbxes for iphone app like you describe for sipdroid. I couldn't find a setup guide on the pbxes site and much of the discussions were over my head. Did I miss a newbie setup guide or iphone 2g guide? Currently using the Linphone free sip account and am curious what is different, better, advantage(s) of using a free pbxes sip account vs. the free Linphone sip account?
