Hi,

I've been looking for a good SIP application for Windows Mobile for ages.
I found speaQ, but it has the same problem as any other softphone for 
Windows Mobile.

You see, it uses the speaker to output the conversation instead of the 
phone speaker,
you know the one that is used when you make a normal phone call with 
your WM Mobile PDA/Smartphone.
At first I was asking myself if every SIP client developer out there is 
down right stupid but
in the end I found out this is actually Microsoft blocking access to 
that phone speaker.
The claim that allowing the developers to access it would allow for 
invasion of privacy (like recording phone calls).
So unless someone can work around this, softphones for WM will remain 
quite useless.

Timothy.
