Nokia770/N800 as a LinuxMCE IP phone
Yesterday I tested Nokia770 and N800 as IP phones for LinuxMCE. I used Internet Communications Software for that. N800 was flashed by the latest OS2008 which already included it from the box. so, I just add a generic phone in LinuxMCE and setup a new SIP account on N800. After quick reload of router N800 connected to the Asterisk.
For Nokia770 I use OS2007 Hacker Edition. So, I followed by instructions from Internet Communications Software site and installed it successful regardless of the fact that the last package gave error. Finally, I added another generic phone to the LinuxMCE and configure SIP account on the Nokia770. After that I make a call from N800 to Nokia770. The quality of sound was good except a small echo (remember, I didn’t modify any options of Asterisk). But generally it was acceptable.
It’s really nice option to use Nokia770 or N800 as a SIP phone with Asterisk. But it’d be much better to integrate it into Orbiter. Maybe somebody knows howto do it.

>Does flashing the os affect the perfmence in any way?
Do you mean performance? Yes, the latest OS2008 increases of CPU speed (if I understand correctly). Also, there are improvements of WiFi connection, battery life and touchscreen sensitivity.
Oh, so it makes things better. Thanks. Which model would you reccomend? Do you prefer these over the iphone or itouch?
Sure 🙂 I like Nokia Internet Tablets. Waiting the chance to buy N810 🙂
Does flashing the os affect the perfmence in any way? I am considering getting one of these devices to use as a universal remote with linux mce, and to add the phone capibility would be great.
