Fring Mobile Messenger – Free Application for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

The long wait is over
Fring for the Nokia 5800 (Symbian S60 5th Edition) is finally officially here!

Fring is one of my favourite free mobile messengers for chatting. The interface is simple and the application itself is extremely easy to use.

It lets me stay connected to multiple Messengers at the same time, specially Skype, which most other free messengers miss out on. I can easily update my Twitter (Chat Only) through Fring, and another really nice feature is that it also notifies me of any incoming Gmail mails.

Fring works with
Skype,
Windows Live Messenger / MSN,
Google Talk™,
Yahoo! Instant Messenger
ICQ,
AOL Instant Messenger / AIM®,
SIP,
Facebook,
Gmail Notifier,
Twitter,
Orkut,
Yandex.mail,
Last.fm

Nokia N82 Black camera in action at KC Grill, Islamabad – Sample Pictures

Went for lunch to KC Grill restaurant in Islamabad, Pakistan. The presentation was good and the food was okay.

I took a couple of pics of the food, etc with my Nokia N82 Black, which has a 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens & Xenon Flash. All of the pictures were taken using Auto Scene Modes, which turned out quite nice.

I loved how the Auto White Balance worked well. Even my Sony digicam needs manual adjustment to get it right the first time. Noise levels in ISO 800 pics arn’t too bad. Putting the picture through “Neat Image” software will easily fix the noise levels.

The N82 cannot replace my Digital SLR, but has happily managed to take over my Point-n-Shoot Sony cam

Full-Size, Untouched sample pictures taken with the Nokia N82. Click to enlarge the images.

Scene Mode: Auto
ISO: 100
F-Number: 2.8
White Balance: Auto
Flash: Flash Fired [Auto]

Chicken Ala Kiev - Nicely cooked & delicious… Picture turned out well, but slightly over-exposed due to direct flash.

Scene Mode: Auto
ISO: 100
F-Number: 2.8
White Balance: Auto
Flash: Flash Fired [Auto]

Cheese [mustard dip] Fondue… As I’ve had the opportunity of eating (Halal) Cheese Fondue numerous times when I was living in Switzerland, I was expecting a pot of hot melted cheese with the works when I ordered this, but much to my dismay, KC Grill’s Fondue presentation had no Fondue pot, it didn’t look or smell like Fondue and certainly didn’t taste like it either It was more like a nice “Mustard Cheese Dip with Bread & Sautéed vegetables”

Scene Mode: Close-Up
ISO: 100
F-Number: 2.8
White Balance: Auto
Flash: Flash Fired [Auto]

The Auto Close-Up mode did its job well, and the Menu pic turned out good.

Scene Mode: Night
ISO: 800
F-Number: 2.8
White Balance: Auto
Flash: Flash Fired [Auto]

KC Grill restaurant, Islamabad – Inside view – It was a little dark inside the restaurant so I used the Auto Night Mode which raised the ISO to 800 & caused some Noise in the pictures

Scene Mode: Night
