'Fring Your World' .... Sept 6, 2009

Yes I guess when you've spent hard earned penny pinched saved money and gotten yourself a funky (ok not so funky anymore) Nokia E71, it only makes sense to start learning your phone and getting it to work for and with you.

I got broadband on my phone, which allows me to even to my internet banking over the phone. It also allows me to check my gmail, update my Facebook, check my Twitters ... aside from the usual phonebook and reminders, it has a funky camera and video feature ... good stuff :)

However, I have been slow on the uptake of adding applications and games since I noticed that the Nokia smartphones seem to come minus a anti-virus program. And I would so hate to find myself virused out on my phone seeing as I practically connect to the whole globe via my phone. I rarely use my bluetooth also because I find it unnerving to have strangers' phones try to pair up with mine. Perhaps I am just nervy heehehhe.

So there I was at 3am in the morning settling in for the night after a long interesting chat with a cousin I'd never met before from Sri Lanka who now resides in Melbourne and is currently here on a 6 month program at one of the universities here. This is another story in development I am sure :) ... nice kid he is ... 'sama kepala' like my siblings and myself.

So I checked out the Applications from Nokia site and tadaaaa I found fring. I have to say, it took me several attempts to get the free application downloaded and installed on my phone but it has opened up a whole new world for me. Suddenly all I need is my mobile and I am connected via fring to everything I am signed up on :) even Skype mind you heehhe. Check out their site to learn more about fring.

And connect with me if you have it :) .... it seems like we're moving into so much mobility ... it's all kinda exciting and new .... and if it's interesting you so know I'd be trying my hand at it :)

Pretty cute banners too don't ya think? So next time, take this piece of advice hehehehe .....
