I’ve installed Fring on my Nokia N80i and got it working. (Yahoo!!) I won’t bore you again with my installation woes but this time I’m pretty sure it wasn’t me that was the problem.

When connected to a Wi-Fi access point, I’m able to make and receive calls and/or chats from Skype contacts. Of all the softphone-type VOIP applications I’ve tried, I have by far the most contacts in Skype so Fring will be useful to me for that reason alone. Using SkypeOut credit, I can make VOIP calls to non-Skype numbers. So far, I’d rate the call quality to Skype contacts as 7/10, which I think is pretty good. At least no echo, no echo.
