Here come another great application for Symbian based phones called Fring. Its an application which work on 3G enable phones right now. Once you download and install fring on your phone you have access to the world of VOIP over your phone*. This application show your gTalk and Skype user list. And you can call them as you call from your desktop. So you can skype friends on the move. And if you have skype credit you can call any phone no as you call from skype. So talk to your friends without cost of your phone calls. Its more useful when people in you network also have 3G phones and using fring. Cool nee....

Here is my experienced so far using it on my Noika N70:
1) It shows gTalk(google talk) friend list quite fast.
2) Skype take more time than gTalk to show user list. May be skype login is talking time.
3) This even show you the mail or scrap alert which you get on gTalk.
4) Try calling one friend at tiwan. Voice clarity was pretty OK considering its on GPRS/EDGE not 3G network.
5) Application kind of getting crash at times but acceptable since its still in Beta. Looking forward for updates. Good work guys.

Overall its a good experience calling friend from phone but not paying for phone charges :)

*Need GPRS/EDGE
