fring frees hundreds of mobile phones, welcoming Java ME & Linux fringsters!

Monday, July 21st, 2008

At last… almost everyone is fringable!

We’re really excited to release fring for loads of the most popular Sony Ericsson and Nokia phones out there (for those in the know, the ones running on JavaME (J2ME)) We’ve created a special version called minifring for these phones that don’t yet support voice over IP calling. With minifring these users will now be able to communicate with growing community of fringsters worldwide. Also, the great new fring applications which developers around the world are working on will soon be available in the fringAdd-ons catalog for the hundreds of newly supported Java ME devices too!

We also welcome Linux (Nokia N810) users with full fring features including internet calls, chat, presence and more + some unique features. I suspect there’s serious steroids in the water our R&D guys have been drinking….lol.

So pass the word around because with about 1,000 handsets now supported and more on the way, to get fring click here. we’re fringing everywhere!
