Over the years I have always been jealous of the blackberry kinds, not because of emails but because of the chat feature which I find very useful and lacking in all other devices. Although there are many add-on softwares, mainly java based that provide the same functionality however they fail to impress my geeky requirements.
When I got my first Windows Mobile powered device, O2 Xda Mini, I was excited to use Skype on it but my interest soon died mainly because of performance issues. With time I updated my phones and so did the applications in the market. Finally I think I have found the complete package.

Fring to the rescue !!! Uptil now no software has impressed me as much as Fring. Not only am I am able to chat with all my friends accross various platforms including Skype, MSN, Gtalk, AIM, Yahoo etc I am also able to get on to the VOIP bandwagon.
Fring allows you to call other Fring users, Skype users as well as make PSTN calls using Skype Out.
The best part about Fring is that it runs light on the system providing excilent performance. I am using Fring on an EDGE network, getting roughly around 60-100 kbps speed. Chat works flawlessly, I was even able to get decent audio quality over VOIP with acceptable echo levels. Unlike other applications in the market including Skype’s own version for Windows Mobile, Fring does not crash your system and does not require frequent reboots specially while disconnecting VOIP calls.
Fring easily get the top spot for the Most Important Application for your mobile.
