It's not so widespread in North America, primarily because the FCC allocated radio frequencies are different from those allocated for use in international markets, so the European hardware can't (legally) be used in USA/Canada. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The iMate is availble here, as well as the O2 XDAII. I have the O2 running here without too many issues..(appart from WiFi Sucking My Battery's will to live) With SJPhone seems to be mostly stable. The ECS-IAX PDA Client is WAY too unstable at the moment...conectivity/voice quality issues...
