Actually... FreeSWITCH in a phone could be a very good project.

The main obstacles are:

1. Someone would need to design and build the hardware, or find existing hardware that would be suitable.

2. A script would have to be written to control i/o so that the keyboard and display of the phone could be used to make calls.

Actually, Snom does have a version with color LCD touch screen - model 820. I'm not sure if it is in mass production yet.

Correct. As I said - it is a prototype. We wasting time in this argument.

Just wrong on the model, it's the 870 which has a touch screen. hads -- http://nicegear.co.nz New Zealand's Open Source Hardware Supplier

Well the 8XX series is much prettier than the 3XX series. Though I wonder if anyone has thought of porting FreeSWITCH to the Palm Pre?

Palm Pre is Linux-based, so shouldn't be that difficult so long as you can get a working portaudio up and running (it looks like pulseaudio has already been ported, so I presume ALSA is ready and waiting in the kernel - FS might just build out of the box!). -- Regards, Jay Fenton, CTO <jay.fenton@howlertech.com> Howler Technologies Ltd, 11 Charlotte Mews, London, W1T 4EQ tel: +44 207 099 7095 fax: +44 207 099 7098 http://www.howlertech.com/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/jfenton Registered in England & Wales, Company No. 06285634

Unless you want to spend loads of money on prototyping an VoIP IC that does 48KHz, then be my guest and build one On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 9:32 AM, Steve Underwood <steveu@coppice.org> wrote:

Are there any hardware phones that support 48 Khz Celt and automated/mass deployment?

Craig. Most of the pure VoIP chipsets aren't capable of running at 48k samples/second, so off the shelf phone hardware platforms probably won't cut it. The phones with video capabilities might have 48k sample/second facilities. 2009/6/30 Jason White<jason@jasonjgw.net>:

Everyone has this need for lower bandwidth calls... I tend to march the other way. 48kHz baby!  (btw you can do 48kHz in the same bandwidth as a single ulaw call) 48khz Celt (celt@48000 in your codec preferences) sounds wonderful with FreeSWITCH. To test, run two FreeSWITCH instances, both with mod_portaudio. This also works well in 48khz conferences.

I wouldn't use G.729 even if it weren't encumbered by patents - it's G.711, G.722, G.722.1 and (my current favourite) Celt all the way. Steve

Even if you did have a phone that could do it, you would have to design a completely different handset with high end audio components to hear any difference. You would certainly need a better mic and earpiece, but they don't need to be very expensive parts to get pretty good results, and making them fit the existing mouldings is unlikely to be that hard. The killer would be if the plastic moulding has a mass of resonances. You might need to re-engineer the entire thing in that case. Having said that, I can see an application for a hardware "phone" that has balanced line in and out connections, so you could use it for broadcast applications. This could replace all the hybrids you normally have in an audio control room, and allow for full-quality phone links if both sides support it. There are video conferencing platforms which are already like that.
