Looks like most bugs fixed in 1.04. 5 stars once features like iPhone version are included. Most reliable SIP client in market.

Needs a lot of work. Program trys to log you in before you are done setting account up and will not stop producing errors long enough to correct.

Bad app

One word: bluetooth!

So far audio quality has been unusable on wifi and won't work at all on 3g (maybe blocked by tmobile?). This with standard codec, mytouch 3g.

Good product, however making you pay again for what is a standard codec and disguising that as a premium feature is b*llsh*t.

Good start. needs improvement. too buggy.

Sucks! If u want decent call quality, Bria asks u to pay additional $8.99 for their upgraded version. I was really hoping this app would be as good.

Total junk. No bluetooth and wired head set doesn't work. Can hear dialing beeps in headphones but call audio switches to regular speaker. Evo.
