using stanaphone on a dell x50v

Eh ? It's a PDA. It doesn't receive calls - in the same way that an
Iron or say a Kettle isn't set up to receive TV. The best you can do
is voice over IP and use the mic/speaker, so for example Skype :

Of course, you have to be in range of a wireless access point
(and no, not a mobile phone transmitter ;-)

Obviously assuming you have the app running, and are logged in at a suitable

SIP protocol is for voice call over the Internet. You will have to contact
the Stanaphone support - they have a very good configuration guide - or
check the link I posted before
