As you can see, fring is 1st to bring our wicked-awesome-cool video calling to Nokia’s latest Smartphone – the N8!

But if you are one of the lucky ones to already have an N8, you can experience fring on the N8 yourself.
Just fill out this early access form to put fring’s N8’s video calling to work for you.

fring your friends on the mountain tops, fring your friends in the valley, on the beaches and in the air.

Important note: the N8 does not yet have the final Nokia firmware so there are still a few kinks to be worked out.

Of course, when people start breaking things (like phones), they are just looking for more freedom… And rightfully so.

In iPhone’s case, people are looking for the freedom to use their phones in more ways like video calling anyone from anywhere. So, fring is happy to oblige them – without jail-breaking.

Take note – to get unlimited video calls, on 3G and WiFi, to other iPhones and Android and Nokia phones, just download fring. Its easy and it doesn’t hurt your warranty ;)

So don’t break your phone to get that face-to-face call experience. Just fring it!

While, every fringster that entered is a winner, thanks to our friends at Ovi, we have 3 winners that will get a brand new N97 mini handset.
Drum roll please…
1. Agustin Jose Garcia from Spain (474 votes)
2. Dana Paz from Chile (437 votes)
3. Craig Ross from South Africa (Check out his Blog)

A huge thanks to all who participated and voted and to our good friends at Ovi for the cool handsets.

UPDATE: Glad to see the feedback on the contest. Just to refresh the rules..

The deadline for the fring football contest was 14 July 2010. The winner was determined by “The fringster with the most likes wins” as votes were counted on July 14th (when the contest ended) the winner below had the most – to be fair to those who followed the rules, entries + likes that came in after the cut off were not counted.

The follow up blog post encouraged folks to “Tag your tweets with #fringFootballContest and who knows maybe you are our next winner.” For other questions, folks are invited to check out the terms. Again, congrats to everyone who won. To those who did not, you can always try again next time – and please note the contest terms – they are there so people have fun and know the rules of the game.

This newest fring version lets you make video calls between any advanced Smartphone. So, you can SEE your friends from wherever you are, and wherever they are. Of course, fring gives users the option to video call on the go, over 3G and from WiFi hotspots.

Bottom line, if you and your friends are a part of the hundreds of millions of iPhone, Android and Nokia users, then you can use fring’s video calling – for free.

Seems like video calling is BIG. How BIG ? In the days after the launch, we are seeing more than 200,000 fring-to-fring mobile video calls a day.

So if you haven’t tried video calling yet, download fring , and invite your friends to fring today.
