Fring brings video calling to the Nokia E71

Saw a tweet from those nice people at Fring recently asking people to contact them for early access to fring 4.2.02 with video calls for Nokia E71 (and other Symbian 9.2 devices. Interesting I thought. Especially as I was under the impression that I didn't have a front facing camera device on my Nkia E71. But there is! It's only a small charge couple device but good enough for voip video calling.


So Fring 4.2.02 was installed and to check it out I fired up Skype on my pc and logged in with my wife's Skype account. A quick call later and everything was working fantastic. The Fring video screen on the Nokia E71 shows a larger image of who you're calling together with a smaller image of yourself. Very nice layout for the E71 screen.

I haven't found out if any other updates are included with Fring 4.2.02 but the video calling setup is really good. Well done to the people at Fring!
