Does G Phone - VoIP for TC - work?

[hk797]

Just read the press releases for G phone.

Am I to believe what I'm reading?

Anyone used G phone yet?

How do you rate it?

Given the zero replies to my post I will take the answer as no it does not work.

Come on Palm get your act together - give us TC users access to Skype.

Pocket PC users have access to it - why not us?

If you agree post a reply and lets get a petition going to 'finally' VOiP on our TC.

come on Palm wake up, time is marching on and your rich loyal supporters are feeling poor for staying with Palm

I've tried it and it works well. I set up a direct SIP call to an FXS gateway at the office and managed to set up a session. I don't have a headset for my TC yet so I can't say anything about the audio quality. When using playback with the built-in speakers there was a noticable delay though.

i have tried Gphone too but it does not work with my TC
it stopped at "retrieving user information" on the screen

An update: I tried it again with a Nokia mobile phone headset. Audio quality is pretty awful, with a lot of background noise. It's not in the headset, I tried the headset with a voice recorder application and got quite decent audio quality. I did this test both with an AudioCodes FXS gateway and the X-Lite SIP UAC on MacOSX.

On another note, proxy registration doesn't work (won't register with the location server), but calling through a proxy works well. I used the SER proxy for this test.

Overall, the product has potential. They need to fix the audio quality and proxy registration though.
