I was going to test Skype, but Nimbuzz won't let you call an offline contact. My friends usually appear offline even when they are not, so I couldn't call anybody right now to test Nimbuzz. But it doesn't look that interesting if it doesn't support SIP.
Here's a link I found helpful:
Android VOIP - voip-info.org
I tried a bunch of those apps, including RF.com.
RF.com allowed me to connect a call through Gizmo, but the segment of the call from my Nexus One to Gizmo is connected via the PSTN (T-Mobile cellular in this case). I did some tests and the Gizmo calls with RF.com had good quality. This is yet more evidence that the problem with VoIP quality on the Nexus One is related to the VoIP functionality of the phone itself, not Gizmo. (In other words, a call routed through Gizmo but using the cellular connection on the Nexus One is good quality, but a call also routed through Gizmo but using WiFi
always has poor quality: therefore, Gizmo is not the problem. Hope I explained that clearly...)
I'll try to keep testing stuff...
