Nokia E61 review

Nokia E61 no case.JPG

On my last trip to the far East (China, HK, Taiwan, Singapore) I bought the Nokia E61 phone + PDA. This phone is quad band GSM (for best North America coverage, yes, places in the US still use 850 MHz) with 3G (2100 MHz, Europe only capability), bluetooth, Wi-Fi (802.11g/b). This is a true world phone, expanding its coverage into the previous no-man’s land of Korea and Japan (3G). It also has Blackberry capability via GPRS/EDGE. I paid around $410 USD after tax rebate. It can be purchased on the internet for $350 + S&H.

SIP Voice over IP

So, after nearly 3 years with Vonage VOIP , I’ve made the switch to a SIP provider. For those who do not know, SIP is Session Initiation Protocol , an open standard for internet telephony. Many folks know SIP from an article in Wired about Gizmo , a SIP client for the computer.
