"Nice to see HP get Palm, just maybe that OS will see a revival of
sorts. Don't tell anybody, but my Palm Centro (which isn't even the
latest WebOS version) does a lot of things the iPhones/iPods/iPads
don't. At least with my Centro, I can send Alt-Codes."


I hope not too little too late.  Droids and all the apps seem to be 
taking off.  One other  advantage of the Pre and is that the whole old 
phone can be run in emulation till any app you have and other stuff is 
ported properly or if you just like it.  The PIM is good (should be 
given Palm's history).  One major gripe in people who travel to GSM 
areas and want to use VZW as the carrier there is no clear way to make 
VOIP on wifi. I would already have one if that were the case.  Don't 
want to pay the  tremendous roaming fees with one of their phones witha 
GSM chip..

Skype was taking a wait and see attitude before porting to WebOS.  Palm 
  stock was taking a nose dive---good thing HP bought them, though may 
just delay the demise.
(Hope I'm wrong.)  There is no SIP server that will work as there is no 
API for the microphone.  People have succeeded in dialing a number but 
no mic is a bit of a problem.   Voxofone may port their app to the Pre 
using wifi but that could be many moons.  One has to make a local call 
to an access number now--bit of a problem with a CDMA phone in Europe.  
  Perhaps others here more knowledgeable about this stuff  may have an 
answer.


Seems  SipDroid 1.1.8 beta using Gizmo5 on  Motorola Droid may work --- 
put it in airplane mode, then turn on WiFi and likely can make VoIP 
calls.  If no progress soon, hello Droid.

  An Outta Touch in  GSM areas, Mike
