Oliver Thylmann investigates on VoIP solutions in Germany. I had a bit more here a while ago.
Oliver also links to a pretty polarizing statement from Michael Robertson on OmMaliks site. Honestly I guess he is underestimating the cleverness of Skype.
Meanwhile ZdNet links to a presentation of Skype on PDAs with a very talented part of the Skype sales force (she alone makes watching the demo worthwile).
One purchase question is arising for me - has anybody tried Skype on IPAQ with a Bluetooth headset? Do headsets nowadays support PDAs and PCs(my last one from Nokia would not connect to PDAs or PCs, just mobile phones)?
I appreciate any feedback... :-)

says... 'Just downloaded this Skype. Fantastic! I set it up on my laptop and iPAQ 2210, an was able to make calls between and everything. I did it on Bluetooth for the iPAQ as well! I wasn't sure the bandwidth would be high enough, but it comes through crystal clear with only a fraction of a second delay!'
Bluetooth + Skype works according to that posting.
Ramin, bandwidth is relative if we are talking about Skype - it adjusts according to your free resources. You can start with 64k for mediocre results and work your way up to crystal clear reception.
Lossless: There is no lossless compression. Something has to be eliminated but I can assure you that, if implemented correctly, VoIP won't disappoint you in comparison to standard telephony.

Thank your very much for the feedback.
Using the Heise tool it seems the Sony Ericsson HBH-35 should work with the IPAQ.
I'll try it before I buy.
Best, TJ

as far as i know there is a
(german) website that has listed compatibilities between bluetooth devices. see http://www.heise.de/mobil/bluetooth/db/
i have two different questions: does voip use a lossless compression? how much bandwidth does voip need?
cheers,
Ramin
