Skype on Nokia ExpressMusic 5800 with Fring
A friend of mine has bought a new Nokia Express Music 5800,
yesterday evening
He wanted to use skype on his nokia so we played a bit together in
installing an
app that provides skype on that mobile phone. There are two
applications which run
on the phone. 1. Skype Lite downloaded from
Skype's mobile phone version
download page
However, the selected version was pretty old it was for Nokia
7370.
This solution worked out, unfortunately there was no skype voice
calls on it, niether video calls.
2. We tested
Fring For
convenience reasons I did a mirror of the Nokia's ExpressMusic
5800, which by the way runs on top of Symbian OS ver. 9.4. Here is
a
link to the Fring for Nokia
ExpressMusic 5800
We tested also the fring's skype protocol abilities, trying out
both video and audio calls which prooved to work okay.
Nevertheless, during playing with the fring the program crashed
once and required to be rebooted to return to proper operation
mode.
Credits for this post go to Nomen who did most of the work on
testing fring on his phone.
In the mean time tonight, a new year is approaching. Let's all hope
this year will prove to be peaceful, fruitful and
full of grace for every inhabitant on earth.
In regard to the new year approaching I Wish you a Really, Really
Happy and Peaceful New Year!
