My Orange Nokia N80 has had it's SIP and VOIP functions disabled. All very disappointing since I was hoping to be able to use it in my office over it's wireless connection. I wasn't trying to scam free calls out of them or anything, I just like the idea of getting both my desk phone and mobile phone to ring at the same time on the same incoming number.
Apparently with a little jiggery-pokery I can flash the Orange firmware and install a generic version, but it seems like a lot of bother and I'll almost certainly wreck the phone in the process...
Nothing is ever simple. I'd have thought this kind of functionality would be a boost to Orange. Surely there are multi-handset businesses out there that would love a truly integrated desk/mobile phone system. Apparently not...
