 Hi,

 anybody knows if it is possible to make the Nokia SIP client in the
 phones autoanswer a call in speakerphone mode?

 I looked into this for my N95 but if it's possible then it isn't
 documented. At least I could not find any public documentation how to do
 it. I did not dig into the Symbian developer docs. Maybe those contain
 the answer.
 
 Similarly for my E90. There's nothing obvious in it that'll make it 
 auto-answer.

I was hoping that Nokia was sloppy and tried sending SIP INVITES with
PoC headers but the phone was ignoring them or answering with a
unsupported media type or similar.

Unfortunately, I also wasn't able to register the PoC application with
my asterisk.
Anybody knows if somebody works on an PoC / push to talk over cellular
implementation for *? I studied the 3GPP / Nokia drafts about 2 or 3
years ago. It doesn't look too complicated but I'm not exactly a gifted
programmer :).

So I'll throw the cat amongst the pigeons by saying: Who cares about PTT?

Seriously - Push to talk - Half duplex Communications. How ancient is 
that! It's really reminiscent of ancient US style truckers - Smokey and 
the Bandit and all that. That's just so last century. Lets put all that 
behind us and get with the 21st century! We all have hands-free, full 
duplex communications now, so lets just forget all that old rubbish and 
get on with the programe.

I think a provider tried it over here for a while - Orange IIRC, but they 
charged an arm and a leg for it, so no-one used it. Everyone I talked to 
about it just laughed. If I want to talk to someone with my mobile while 
working, I use a bluetooth headset. I touch my borg implant, say HOME 
into it and it dials home... I'm not going to hold an E90 to my ear, push 
a button, say Hello? Can you hear me? Kchchchct let the button go then 
wait for a reply.

I wish the mobile manufacturers would put as much effort into creating a 
DECT interface in their handsets as waste silicon space  time on PTT 
garbage.

If I really want PTT, then I'll go out  buy a pair of Motorola handsets.

Next thing you'll be asking for is flip phones with a little stubby 
antennae on top Thankfully they went out of fashion in the UK about 5 
years back.

Clearly, you don't work in an environment where PTT is a feature, not a
bug.

Lucky you.  :-)

Amazingly, Nextel has made a pretty good living out of it over here for
almost 20 years, notwithstanding the number of subs they've lost
because they didn't budget the network expansion.

PTT communications have quite a number of advantages, actually, some of
which I itemized here:

http://bestpractices.wikia.com/wiki/Nextel

though not all of them.

Clearly, they're popular enough that Sprint went through the 7 layers
of hell necessary to port QChat to EV-DO and make it interoperate with
the old iDen Direct Connect system, in observance of Metcalfe's Law.
