I have one 'on test/loan' from the importers. I have to say that
it works fine with my Sipgate account when on a 'real' IP, but when
behind a NAT router then results seem to be variable. The voice
quality is good. The display and interface seems to me to be a bit
'old-fashioned'.
The USB connector on the base suggests that it ought to be
configurable from a PC, but I gather that it isn't really USB, so it
can't. It is *very* fiddly to set it up from the keypad!
One amusing discovery was that a well-known chain of hot-spot
providers doesn't block SIP, so I was able to make a phone call from
one of their hot-spots without having an account with them!
I was expecting it to be launched during the summer, but have seen
nothing about it - possibly because the firmware is still being worked
on.
Phone number for Starcom is 0870 351 1802 for the UK office. I get
the impression that Germany has the head office for the EU.
Regards,
Harry.
