How does this play in a Cisco Call Manager environment?

[evove]

Cisco supports SIP which is the protocol that XPhone is built upon therefore it would work just fine. Evove is testing Call Manager interoperation with XPhone and the results thus far have been very positive.

Does your product incorporate any security above that of static WEP?

[evove]

XPhone encryption is a hot topic around here and I am under non-disclosure regarding that very subject. If you have specific needs regarding this I suggest you email me and I will pass your comments along to the powers that be.

Do I have to pay a service charge(per call or monthly basis) if I were to buy the neccessary VoIP hardware/software from Evove?

Will this App work with the Dell new handheld

[evove]

Hi Randy,

XPhone is compatible with all multimedia PocketPC devices. As long as you can get an wireless Internet connection and the device is multimedia capable [Microphone + Speakers] you are good to go. We have not yet tested it on the Dell product but there is no reason why it would not work. Join the beta program and we will find out in short order :)

Regarding pricing, the app will be sold in 3 fashions. 1 - Bundled with hardware manufacturers. 2 - Bundled with Service Provider offerings. 3 - As a stand alone application.

Service Provider Pricing has not yet been clearly established but I have heard that device to phone service will be offered as a flat rate under $20/mo for unlimited calling in the US, which includes unlimited global device to device calling.
