SmartphoneWoize allows users to make free calls to other Woize, PocketWoize, or SmartphoneWoize users, as well as inexpensive calls billed per second to users outside of the Woize community. SmartphoneWoize works on mobile phones running Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone and can be used wherever the phone is connected to a WiFi network."</i><br /><br />Woize allows free calls between Woize clients and a small fee is charged when you call none woize clients. Sound familiar? ;) Anyway, you can download a free Smartphone client (or Pocket PC client - if that meets your needs) from the <a href="http://www.woize.com/">Woize website.</a> The woize client requires .Net CF 2 be installed on your device first. Has anyone here downloaded this? We've heard reports on how Skype is hacked onto a Smartphone. I would be interested to see how well this preforms.

Voice quality is excellent and rates are excellent. I dont like that I cant have a US number, no phonebook(except for other Woize contacts) and you have to use a wired headset. Voice doesnt come out of handset speaker but from the speaker phone. Bluetooth will work but you need to use Bluetunes to keep mic on. But with a wired headset and a phone number in your hand and you got a great VOIP application!!!

Oh and before you ask, I have had no luck using T-Mobile US Edge data connection.

Hrm... so it's got promise, but also a couple of hang-ups. :?

This is only a Beta application and I imagine the next release will hopefully fix the issues. I really like the application homescreen which gives a constant update on my balance and after each call it tells me how much it cost.

Did anyone else use this? I am hoping to get a T-Mo SDA, and was wondering if any other users gave it a try, and what they thought about it. Hopefully SDA should communicate with Windows Client.
