[Linphone-users] Linphone on BlackBerry announce

[Jehan Monnier]

Hello,

The Linphone's team is pleased to release a new port of Linphone on Blackberry !

Main features are:
-Audio only based on built-in AMR-NB codec.
-Native contact list integration.
-Call history.
-Both sip tcp and udp.
-Limited supported device, Bold series with OS > 5.0 .
-Both wifi and 3G support.
-GNU GPL v2 license.

Linphone for BlackBerry OS is a completely java rewritten  Linphone leveraging on the java version of libblinphone API we have developed for Android. Simon has developed a java port of oRTP called jortp with adaptive jitter buffer. For sip, we have leveraged on sip-for-me, that we had to patch to fix a bunch of bugs. The core (I.E jliblinphone) is a strict implementation of the java version of linphonecore.

Linphone on BB only support AMR-NB because on BB 0S 5, it's the only available codecs with real time capabilities. So you have to find a sip provider supporting this codec.
Due to the lake of DNS api from BB OS5, sip hosts must always be entered as an IP address (I.E sip:address@hidden). Same for the proxy field in  configuration view witch must be an ip address. 

Binary installation is available from: 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/linphone/blackberry/jlinphone-1.0.0/5.0.0/jlinphone.jad
