These last months, I done a small comparison of several softphones for 
ubuntu, and I tested 'Yate client' [1]
The interesting point is that it's written in Qt4, C++.
So it may be a foundation of an Ubuntu Touch sip phone, just like 
Trojita and Dekko.
Please note that the source of client is in a subfolder of the complete 
Yate suite, and it uses libs shared with Yate server.

The downside is that it was not completely reliable : in some outgoing 
calls, there was some sound problems, while Jitsi had no problem.
After comparing logs, it seems that Yate has a different way of 
establish an audio channel than Jitsi. But I'm absolutely not specialist 
of that level of functionality.

The last packages for Ubuntu are :
In https://launchpad.net/~sico/+archive/ubuntu/yate/+packages
under the yate-5.5.1 directory you'll find the the yate-client package.

For example :
https://launchpad.net/~sico/+archive/ubuntu/yate/+files/yate-client_5.5.1-ubuntu1-sico5~trusty_i386.deb






Another project : 'Xivo client' [2]. it's not a softphone, but it 
provides some information about user presence, calls. As it's also 
written in Qt4, it might be interesting to look at, even if it's tied to 
Xivo [3].


Cheers,

Michel
