[asterisk-users] Mobile phone codecs ...

[Gordon Henderson]

Not strictly asterisk related, however...

Here's an odd one for you.. I got a Nokia E90 and setup it's SIP client 
which runs via Wi-Fi (anyone know if I can make it work via GPRS/3G?)

Anyway, in a fit of idleness, I thought I'd see what codecs it supports, 
as I couldn't find it in the manual...

And it supports:

   ilbc
   g729
   ulaw/alaw

No GSM!

How odd is that, given that it's a GSM mobile phone...

Anyway, my quest for the ultimate "one handset" solution is getting 
closer. If Wi-Fi weren't so rubbish and my house not made of Dartmoor 
Granite it might have half a chance of working outside the room with the 
access point, however ...

Anyone tried the Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headsets which 
regsiters to both a mobile phone and their own base unit (which 
presumably has a USB sound device)

as in:

I'm not a fan of soft-phones, and not sure I want to have a borg implant 
on when I'm not driving, but ...

Oh well... Back to the grind!
