If you’re using Nokia S60-based smartphone with built-in WiFi, you’re probably already familiar with Fring. Basically, it’s the application that allows you to use Skype on your Symbian smartphone.
Last month, we saw Fring entering the Windows Mobile market, and now they’re releasing the UIQ 3 version of their popular app. What this means is that Sony Ericsson P990i owners will be able to make free and cheap VoIP phone calls — the M600i and W950i just don’t have what it takes – aka WiFi. Anyway, in order to start using the Fring on your P990i you’ll need the latest firmware, Fring’s audio plugin, and to download the app itself. See, that wasn’t that hard — you’re ready to save some cash on phone calls!
Idea for Sony Ericsson – pre-install Fring on the upcoming P1i and W960i models!

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.
