Nokia E51 and Asterisk
January 3rd, 2010
I find this one of the best phones with a SIP dialer included, it works great with Asterisk doing registration and handling g729 as well as g711.
Is a dual mode phone so you can enjoy your 3GSM and if you have wifi available while traveling you can be connected to your office PBX at the same time.
Believe me, your packet will feel the difference and the voice quality of course depends on the quality of the internet connection available.
