Sipdroid and SMSDiscount – VoIP on the Android without Pbxes

Configuring sipdroid to use SMSDiscount is a lot easier than most tutorials on the internet show. There is no need to create any pbxes.org account or anything else. Just download the latest version of sipdroid and go to the sipdroid settings screen: In one of the SIP accounts (in my phone I used the first one) use the following settings: Authorization Username: your username on SMSDiscount Password: your SMSDiscount password Server or Proxy: sip.smsdiscount.com Leave all other settings as they are and your are good to go! If this does not work for you, please inform me.

Nexus one – still working after two days

I am happy to tell you that after two full days playing with my new nexus one smartphone it is still working! Not hard when I decided not to do any changes that may causeit any damage (I haven’t even rooted it!!!). And boy is this fun! Tomorrow I’m taking it to the technical service for an upgrade to android v2.2 (yes, I’m even paying for the upgrade) Plan for the current month: my first app. Any ideas?
