Week to week, I’m not sure if I like my Nokia N95 or HTC S620 more. It’s a tough battle between Windows Mobile 6 and Symbian, as I love the QWERTY keyboard on the HTC S620, but then I start missing the Nokia’s browser and better phone features.

I think for now the Nokia N95 has won, as it’s the only way I can get decent access to my gmail account as the IMAP client on the HTC s620 doesn’t support gmail messages containing HTML, and the gmail mobile email app looks absolutely awful on the Windows Mobile device.

Another reason I love my Nokia N95 is the wide range of applications that can be installed. Just feast your eyes on 25 Must Have Applications For Your Nokia N95. If you’re looking to pimp your Nokia N95 then there are some great applications here.

The first one I’m going to install is Fring. One of my team who out-techs me (he setup and sold his own ISP) has a N95 as well and he constantly raves about Fring. This great free mobile VoIP application allows free mobile internet calls to other ‘fringsters’ and to PC-based services including Skype®, Google Talk^TM, ICQ, MSN® Messenger and Twitter, using free Wi-Fi or your 3G or GPRS internet data plan instead of costly mobile airtime minutes.

The feature I didn’t know about before is that Fring moves automatically between WiFi and 3G networks, using Fixed-Mobile-Convergence (FMC). , auto-connecting to Wi-Fi and 3G networks without manual user involvement. I can’t wait to try this out to see if it works whilst in a call.

I’ll let you know how I get on.

  Well, Fring can still be the number one since it supports UIQ as well.

  I ditched UIQ after my P900 as I hated the two-hand/stylus approach. Although, when I borrowed my cousings P990i it did seem to be a lot better.

  You should see the P1i. Because of the way they fixed up the keyboard, you can now sms singlehandly. Although there’s still the stylus

  i don’t like the keypad of P1i..it would have been otherwise a great handset if they have improved upon their keypad…featurewise the phone is awesome.

  i heard about fring a long time back but never used it as i never felt the need for it.

  As i wrote my reply I did start thinking about the P1, which does seem to overcome this problem.
