Oh boy oh boy!

With all the hype around Android internet calling, we at fring decided to:

At fring we only use LARGE FONTS.
what you see is what you get.
There is a darn good reason for that. We are proud that fringOut users can:

• Call more than 223 countries– even the people in America, China and Japan
• Call from anywhere using whatever connectivity they want WiFi, 3G, 4G…
• Use any Android phone – Android 1.5, 1.6, 2.1, 2.2 and even the Galaxy S
• Call worldwide from 1c/minute (Even less! call Canada for 0.6c, US for 0.9c, check our rates)
• Pay the posted rate with NO hidden ‘connection’ fees or taxes

Join us in saying NO to small print and YES to LARGE FONTS on Android.

The guys over at phonescoop.com were lucky enough to get a hands on look at the shiny new HTC G1.

This handset is the first of many handsets which will run Google’s new open platform software called Android. It was first launched by T-Mobile in New York city.

For a detailed look at the HTC G1 follow this link or sit back and enjoy the video’s below.

The iPhone 3G has recently been getting a lot of attention in South Africa after it’s much anticipated launch at Vodaworld in Midrand late last night.

Another handset that seems to be getting even more attention than the iPhone 3G in the international market at the moment though is the HTC G1, the first handset to be officially running Google’s android software.

The video below introduces Android and talks about the Gphone.
