New Android version with brand-new look, dialer and more!

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Great news for our Android fringsters- only a few months ago fring’s launched its 1st Android version with the world’s 1st ever Skype VoIP calls and the version is quickly catching up with fring’s other leading platforms. Today’s version includes a new buddy list look, brand-new profile screen and the long-anticipated dialer, among other improvements.

First, we’ve updated the buddy list and made it a lot friendlier. The new buddy list features your friends’ picture and mood line (from either fring or Skype), as does your call screen.

Personalize your profile! The new version comes with a new personalized profile, where you can upload a picture & edit your mood, your email address and phone number, all at the click of a button.

Then, you asked for it and you got it- we’ve added a dialer screen (including DTMF), so you can dial in numbers during a SIP/ SkypeOut call.

Lastly, you’ll love the voice improvements, Links support in the chat screen and other bug fixes we’ve added to this version, to make sure you get an even better communication experience.

So, now you have even more reasons to make sure you get the latest version today, because fring’s just gotten a lot more social on Android!
