Gizmo Project on N80 and N95

Gizmo Project is now officially available from Nokia’s Beta Labs as well as in the Download! client on both the Nokia N80 and the N95. Gizmo Project is a MOIP (Mobile Voip) application that is available now for your PC, N800, and WiFi-enabled N-series devices. It also supports IM, as well as plenty of other functions.

There are many different players like Skype, Vonage, TruPhone, Gizmo, etc. A great place to get information on all these is Andy Abramson’s blog Voip Watch.

That there are 2 ways to get the Gizmo Project application on your phone. The right way, and the wrong way, apparently. The wrong way is to use the Download! Application on the N95 (I can’t really speak for the N80). The right way, however, is to go to Nokia’s Beta Labs website and download 2 .sis files. For some reason, the application that is loaded into the Download! app only configures the settings internally on the phone. It doesn’t give you the full-blown app with IM and all the contact list integration. Why? I don’t know. Just want to make sure you’re aware
