Ladies and gents, WinMo device users, a new version of the popular instant messaging and VoIP application Fring is out, packing tons of improvements.

Among them, we see:

  • Support for new phones, including the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and Samsung Omnia.
  • New and improved fring Add-ons.
  • File Transfer function is now included in the Windows Mobile too (it was already available for Symbian version), allowing users to send files to all their fring, Skype, MSN and Yahoo buddies.
  • Navigation and functionality have been improved with a new “Go-To menu”, Privacy and “Joystick-In” settings, typing indication, and new Add-Ons Management screen.
  • Added earpiece support for HTC smartphone owners.

Finally, Fring is all proud that their app has received Microsoft’s “Designed for Windows Mobile” certification. That doesn’t mean much for the end user, but it’s cool to have it, I guess. Download page remains the same…
