New toy

April 10, 2008

Got a new phone (Nokia e61i) with my contract upgrade the other day. I saw that Joe had the same phone and it looked symplistic enough for me to wanna use- not a big fan on ringtones and lights flashing. And o-yeah… not many people’s got one- very important fact that!

Anyway, as with all toys it’s more what they can do that’s not part of the spec than what they are meant to do. So I browsed around looking to load Skype on my phone and came across a Fring site (www.fring.com).

You can load Fring on your phone and connect it with all those voip programs like Skype. Anyway, what a pleasure! Phoned some Skype’ers already and is brilliant. Just can’t get Skype to cell/landline to work yet (have $10 in the account). Keeps disconnecting after dialing a tone.

Will have to get that one working then I’m set. If it just wasn’t for the extreme battery usage…!
