Mobile Phone Roundup
Submitted by Mike on Sun, 01/11/2009 - 07:49
In the end, my X1 was too knobbled by Vodafone to do all the things I wanted to do. I concluded that I would have to buy a phone from somebody neutral (sim free) which has resulted in me being able to:
* use an imap mail reader against my usualy multiple mail boxes
* run skype
* run a sip client (it work's best over wlan - vodafone's network is poor quality for sip traffic and I haven't yet found anyone knowledgeable within vodafone to want to try to assist)
* sync my contacts using my own funambol server
* use gps navigation using google mobile maps (it's missing a hud and voice prompts - still looking for an alternative)
* and make phone calls
I've written a short article on my experiences at: http://inbox.apana.org.au/?p=207
