Fring updated its VoIP application just in time for holidays. First they’ve included latest Nokia’s smartphones on the list, including Nokia N81, N82 and N95 8GB — you’ll probably notice it’s the black N95 rather than N95 8GB on the image bellow – we got an image from them.

Fring updated

Along with the support for new devices, Fring also announced that WISPr and history functions had been updated to work on Symbian UIQ based phones. The former is there to enable Sony Ericsson smartphone users to seamlessly roam within Wi-Fi networks.

Finally, they’ve announced the support for AOL’s AIM and Yahoo! Messenger, which are joining other instant messaging clients on the list: Skype, Google Talk, MSN, ICQ and Twitter (not actually the real IM client when you think about it).

And before we go, a short video explaining how to roam between 3G and WiFi on Fring follows after the jump. Enjoy!
