  • I've had it on my N82 for over a year, it's really very cool, and if Fring's not your thing, check out Nimbuzz. (Although I don't think it's on iEither of those devices just yet.) Posted by L.Rawlins, UK
  • Fring is actually pretty good, even enables you to make free Skype calls over VoIP when you have WiFi access.

  • And of course Palring is the only app on the iphone and the Nokia N-series devices that offers not only text-based IM, plus voice IM (walkie-talkie style voice) plus ability to send photos--all within the same application.
