Is it just me or can anyone else not get some of the advanced features of the E61 working ...

- VoIP (SIP) over WiFi
- Native sync to MS Exchange server (contacts, calendar, mail etc.) over WiFi or 3G
- Vlive! access
- WiFi on network with hidden SSID

Also thought Win Mobile 5 was the most clunky/complex phone OS around, but I think Nokia's s60 takes the cake. My iMate JasJar handles the above no problem (with the exception of Vlive which indicates browser not supported, but at least it can make the connection ok).

EDITv2: Solved 3 of them ...

- Exchange sync works, had a bit of auth finger problems
- Vlive access works once you figure out the 'Web' browser is HTML not WAP 2. Once accessed the 'hidden' WAP browser via Media->Services got Vlive working
- Figured out how to manually create WiFi networks for hidden SSID nets

Still stand by the feeling that the OS is difficult & un-intuitive. Just the VoIP/SIP now ... anyone got it working?

Got the SIP functionality working for Sipgate.co.uk; Voipdiscount and sipphone/gizmo. Check the forums for the settings. Sipgate is the most informative in terms of the settings.
