Hi Paul,

I think the most frustrating part is that everything worked in Bria 2.5 and
now several things do not.  The things I like the least:


1.  It requires a new C++ runtime to be installed, with windows XP computers
and certain hot fixes Bria would always crash on startup, the workaround is
to uninstall several hot fixes making installation a lot more difficult for
end users. Even with this done, several of my end users complain it locks up
the XP machines.

2. 3.x does not handle codec negotiation when a called person has a cell
phone sim-ringed through our mediant 2000 gateway, according to the trace it
Bria 3.x grabs g711 and then I get one-way audio with a polycom talking
g722.  I've tried both checking and unchecking "Accept first codec offered"
setting to no avail.  2.5 and several other softphones work fine, including
CSIPsipmple on android.

3. The XMPP part  was nice helps to bring a unified application that offers
similar features to OCS/Lync.

Other gripes:

LDAP, is not a dynamic query, it is a onetime query at program launch, not
based on what you've just typed.

The new web modules are kinda cool and could have neat possibilities
regarding sipxecs REST APIs, but they are not set through the
central provision. Why?


I guess in the end 3.x feels much more like a financial upgrade for
counterpath rather than a feature upgrade for customers.

Paul I agree it is the best out there, but to me what that really says is
the state of soft-phones in general is really awful.

What I really wish is that sipcommunicator worked well.
