fring welcomes Android to the family

After weeks of speculation, rumors and alpha testing with our much-appreciated early access group, we are finally out with the 1st  ever fring for Android!

Thats right fringdroid-ers you can now get onto fring and make true VoIP calls over Skype, MSN,  GoogleTalk and via hundreds of SIP providers (this btw is a world first).  As always you can see real-time presence and live chat with your ICQ, Yahoo and AIM buddies too. You can also use Twitter there, as part of  your integrated contact list.

fring on android works over 3G, GPRS or Wi-Fi internet connection.

Just dl’d fring and it is having this connectivity problem. Not even staying connected long enough to enable the IM clients. Thought it might have been a network strength problem out in the country but went into the city and still no sustained connection.
