Re: [asterisk-users] WiFi Phones (was Looking for Wireless Heaset for Polycom 501)

I'm using 7920 with chan_skinny (from 1.4branch), it working quite well
I reported some chan_skinny bugs in bugtracker and I can confirm, that 
are solved very quickly :-)
Is true, that chan_skinny have less features that chan_sccp, but more 
important for me is active development/maintenance


we also use Nokia E70 (with latest firmware that solve issues especially 
with low bitrate codecs),
so I think, that these combo phones have great perspective and excelent 
price/usability ratio  ;-)

I've been using a SIP deskphone in my office and usually some sort of 
ATA at
my house, both as the primary phone. I've also had mobile phones from 
almost

every carrier. Each one of these devices has offered just below the
reliability of the PSTN, maybe 96% vs 98% or so for the PSTN. But every
single WiFi phone I've tried has not gotten anywhere close to that. When
playing with these devices they are about 90% reliable, but for some odd
reason, moment I actually go to use it for a real call, something goes
wrong; the phone freezes or the network disconnects or it says its 
connected

but nothing happens when you try to place a call or the call is setup but
there is no audio, etc, etc, etc..  I just sort of figured that Nokia
would have gotten this one right.

Is there any chance you did not do this testing with the latest 
firmware? I

had heard that it really improves the SIP.

What is the potential market for a USD 200-300 WiFi SIP or IAX phone 
that is
known to be reliable. I haven't tested that many handsets, but the 
Linksys,
Pirelli, D-Link, 3Com, Neuf Twin, and who knows how many others are 
all made
by the same ODM so I don't think any of the variations might be any 
better.

There's a Samsung phone that was announced a while back but I can't find
anything of it, same for some Senao models and their site didn't load the
VoIP wifi page (404 error) months ago and is the same today. Cisco 
well
chan_sccp seems to have not been updated in 19 months and how 
feature-packed
is chan_skinny? Has anyone encountered a WiFi phone that is reliable 
besides

SpectraLink?

 and they both support Blackberry email.
I use the e60 and although it's slick and very promising, it's
definitely not ready for a production environment...
