Fring Lets You Send Files, Goes Native

Fring, the free instant messaging/MOIP (Mobile VOIP) client, has announced an update for S60v3 users that adds new features and offers the ability to transfer files! Currently only for Gtalk and Skype, but coming soon to the other IM protocols, you can transfer files between mobiles, and also from mobile to PC. This makes it killer-easy to send pictures or video clips to friends while chatting.

Other improvements include new support for other languages, including French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Chinese. The application will even automatically check to see what language your handset is using upon installation, automatically matching it if possible. The chat function has also gotten an update, with new icons and the ability to set the d-pad center to start a chat rather than a phone call.

Head on over to Fring.com to get setup if you have an S60 handset. The update should be available for Windows Mobile handsets soon.
