...and now that it looks like there are adverts infesting it, i never will again.

the best IM app on the S60 v3 platform. It's reliable enough to have on 24x7 and supports all the accounts I have and more. The S60 v2 version wasn't as polished and used to crash my 6630 when used for extended periods of time.

I tried the last.fm plug in and I was impressed. Twitter is a bit flakey, but useful. As for the ads, I could live with them providing they don't geg too annoying. I guess how intrusive they are depends in what model of phone you have to some extent.

Mine's the one with the E61i in the pocket.

@the first two anonymous cowards:

if you fail to understand why you shouldn't get too attached to the (free) service, but refuse to use a service that is funded by advertising (on the assumption that you won't pay for the service yourself) then you need a short sharp lesson in economics, preferably administered by cattle prod.

I tried using it as a SIP client on my WinMo phone but there are a few of practical issues that they really need to attend to: 1. All comms is via the fring servers, which increases latency to the point where real-time voice comms are not useable. 2. Integration with the phone book is essential. 3. Battery life is destroyed - I get less than a day on the extended battery and finally 4. for some reason is is not possible to route sound through the handset speaker - only the speakerphone. Consequently the phone needs to be held backwards and volume turned right down in order to make a private call.
