[asterisk-users] WiFi SIP phones

[Nguyen]

Hi,

I see the offer from Singtel here: http://www.singtel.com/mio . All was
based on Nokia handsets.
And other offer from Neuf Telecom
http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.asp?guid=79B12F42-9EB5-47ED-9CEF-78BD3D8F7D1A
They use handset based on Qtopia.

So it seem that those dual mode phone has come out from the lab. Personally
I use an E61. Working.
Does anyone has experience with  GreenPhone (Qtopia) from Trolltech?
