Hi Paul,May I suggest you try another SIP/Skype/VoIP/chat app?Nimbuzz recently released a new version, and they've beaten fring on sound quality. That wasn't too hard, because the fring server that routes your calls appears to be a bit overloaded.fring is still good, but that's mainly because of their instant messaging features. In terms of (lack of) delays and echos and static you're better off with Nimbuzz than with fring.I recently tried the latest versions of Nimbuzz, fring, and Talkonaut: http://symbianism.blogspot.com/search/label/VoIPIt's been a while since I tried Gizmo (early July). Did you notice any improvements in Gizmo in the past three or four months?Cheers!
