Re: [Linphone-users] Linphone on BlackBerry announce

[address@hidden]

Hi Jehan,

sorry I've noted this announcement only now.

This is great news!

Installed now on a Bold 9700 OS 5.0.0.743 (platform 5.1.0.165).

It gets executed correctly.

Now I can't test the calls but this evening I'll do it.


Some questions:

Does Asterisk support the AMR-NB codec ?
It looks like, have you used Asterisk as a testbed ?
Or maybe a specific sip provider ?

I was always sure that I'll never see a softphone on the BB because RIM does 
not provide the necessary APIs (access to mic and inbound audio).
So this is not true ?

An application which is very requested by the BB user base is the ability to 
record calls (both inbound and outbound audio) on the device or on the sd card.
Some users changed their mobiles to different vendors just for the lack if this 
feature.
Perhaps this softphone does not reflect the ability to access the audio flow of 
a normal (not voip) call
but if it does, you may consider to develop that 'calls recording application' 
and get some serious cash from it :)


Thanks for your attention,
consider me an early adopter and beta tester of this port!
Mike
