FringAs we’ve already mentioned last year, Fring allows you to make free mobile calls, send instant messages to other fring users, and communicate with PC based VoIP applications such as Skype and Google Talk. And now, it is available for latest Nokia S60 3rd edition smartphones.

However, the application is still in beta (preview) and may not work perfectly. At the moment of this writing only the N80 and N80i have been fully signed by Nokia. I tried to make it work on my N93 and couldn’t do it. On the other hand, it seems that the E61 and N80 users don’t have such problems.

It’s good to know that we can expect the fully working version soon. Skype for Symbian that actually uses WLAN for connection is something we all are waiting for. [picture taken from My Your's & Our E- 70 and E61]

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.

    Jonas,

    You can get the full bandwidth consumption data on our website at the ‘about’ section.
    In any event, you will need less than 5mbytes per 60 minutes of voice conversation.
    Your $2 per Mega is on the high side. Check with your carrier for a better plan. The usual pricing we see is $10-$20 for 250 Mbytes and up

    Ok thanks for the reply.

    I got another dataplan now 1gb for aprox $25 and after that gig it will be $2 for each mb.

    So thats a little bit better :)

    Thanks again
