asterisk users - Mar 2011 - Asterisk using as a SIP client

Hi all
     I am planning to use asterisk as a IP phone(Porting asterisk into a 
hardware).Is there any limitations if I use asterisk as a SIP 
client?,and asterisk has any advantages if use like this?

Thanks
Nikhil

It's not really designed as a SIP client. It's probably possible, but
it's very sledgehammer.
