14 DAY TRIAL // According to the latest news on the Web, the upcoming Samsung OMNIA HD phone will come preloaded with fring. As some of you might already know, this application has become quite popular due to the fact that it is able to work on a wide range of mobile platforms, including iPhone, Symbian, or Windows Mobile.
At the same time, the application is also known for its compatibility with several chat clients like Skype, ICQ, Windows Live, Google Talk, or Yahoo! Messenger, as well as with social networks (Facebook, Last.fm), and micro-blogs (Twitter). Moreover, fring also allows users to make cheap VoIP calls.
Samsung already included the application in one of the best smartphones that have been unveiled last year, the 8-megapixel Samsung INNOV8. And, since users seemed to have enjoyed it so much, the Korean mobile phone maker is reported to have decided to include fring on the company's flagship model for this year, the Samsung OMNIA HD.
This is great news for messaging enthusiasts, which will probably rejoice when the phone gets launched on the market, which should happen at the end of April or at the beginning of May. Some of the goodies the device will bring along include GSM Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and UMTS tri-band (900/1900/2100 MHz) connectivity, a 3.7-inch display capable of delivering a 360 x 640 pixel resolution, as well as the 8-megapixel photo snapper with smile detection and video recording capabilities.
In addition, the Samsung OMNIA HD also comes around with Bluetooth connectivity, Wi-Fi capabilities, global 3G support, global roaming functionality, picture ID, speakerphone, music player, e-mail capabilities, 8 or 16GB of internal storage, as well as a memory card slot for additional storage space. The handset measures 4.84 x 2.28 x 0.51 inches (123 x 58 x 12.9 mm).
