Nokia E65 is a nice quad band slider phone with Bluetooth, WiFi support and also a VoIP client built in. This phone is a Symbian S60 3rd edition, so it cannot be used (at least not yet) as a mobile orbiter, but it can be used as a VoIP cordless with Asterisk.

To do so the steps are:

1. go to LMCE admin site and go to Advanced ->Configuration -> Phones setup (this launches AMP)
2. add a new SIP extension, defining a new extension number and a password (secret). Leave all other settings unmodified
3. apply your new Asterisk configuration by clicking on the red bar near the top of the page
4. configure your phone with your home wireless access point and make sure that phone can navigate. By default it will ask for a DHCP leased IP, so it will be hooked to the 192.168.80.* subnet
5. go to Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Connections -> SIP settings and create e new profile with the following config:
   1. Profile Name : name of your choice
   2. Service profile : IETF
   3. Default access point : your access point
   4. Public user name : sip:userid@192.168.80.1 (where userid should be the ext number you defined earlier in AMP)
   5. Use compression : no
   6. Registration : always on
   7. Use security : no
   8. Proxy Server
      1. Proxy server address : sip:192.168.80.1
      2. Realm : asterisk (it is asterisk by default, unless it is differently set in /etc/asterisk/sip.conf)
      3. User name : userid
      4. Password : userpass
      5. Allow loose routing : yes
      6. Transport type : UDP
      7. Port : 5060
   9. Registrar server
      1. Registrar serv. addr. : sip:192.168.80.1
      2. Realm : none
      3. User name : userid
      4. Password : none
      5. Transport type : UDP
      6. Port : 5060

If everything is ok, when exiting from this newly created profile back to SIP profile list a label "Registered" appears within few seconds under new SIP profile entry.

This means that E65 has successfully registered with Asterisk server.

To make a test call it is now necessary to go to Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Connections -> Internet tel. settings and create a new Internet tel. profile choosing to use the SIP profile previously defined.

To place a call via Asterisk it is necessary to compose number, press Option button (do NOT press green button, as the call would be placed via GSM/UMTS) and select Call -> Internet call

Call will then be routed according to Asterisk dialplan
