I am also a Jitsi user. I may be wrong but regarding the encryption keys, my understanding is that this is only for the so-called 'secure chat' feature. The encryption for voice calls is seamless... That, at least, what i gleaned from the manual.

Mostly a video call is established after a text chat, and keeping encryption on over the whole line is not yet a fluent experience.
On the Jolla Myriam Android VM Jitsi only works well for text chats as far as my trials have shown.

@xman
Regarding:-
"- no maemo native version."
You don't need another client for SIP under maemo as 'vanilla' maemo
can handle SIP..

.Also this could change if more ppl started using it over Skype. I mean we live in a time where some folks have Skype Facebook msgr, hangouts, FaceTime, voip, viber (does voice right?) and probably a few more too. The point is it's prime time for this to gain traction I would think. I think its really cool that folks on this board are already using it.

If we can get a compile of Chrome working with the new APK converter plugin there is Skype working from Android.
Here is the work thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1439912
here is where working apps including Skype are listed https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...yo8/edit#gid=0

It's SIP & supposed to be end to end encrypted if you use Jitsi, probably not if you are just using N900 vanilla client. Needs someone cleverer that me to look into the security aspects, but I would say that I trust it more than I would skype....

If N900 vanilla SIP-client does not include encryption, then is it possible to write a Jitsi plug-in for N900's Conversations?
Best wishes.

This is a cumbersome procedure to impose on less technical people that don't care about privacy anyway and it would be better if Jitsi could store multiple encryption keys per user to cover all known computers.
So that means even more work to convince contacts to switch to Jitsi (de ja vu 2003 trying to move them from Yahoo to Skype)
Of course the point of Jitsi is encryption. It can encrypt Yahoo, MSN and Google voice as well as native XMPP.
Over long distances the video quality seems better than Skype on many occasions but drop outs or freezes can occur as the program does not try much to get the best possible fluent quality settings.
