On an S60 Nokia

Recently I’ve been making more and more use of Fring, a multi-protocol S60 (symbian) instant messaging client.

It’s much more than just that though – all your contacts appear in one easy to use list, and chats are tabbed so it’s really easy to navigate between them and keep loads running at the same time. Protocols include all the popular ones like MSN, AIM, Yahoo and Google Talk, as well as Skype, ICQ, and also enabling you to post to and read your Twitter. It can even make VoIP calls using Skype and the Fring servers, and although it can vary greatly due to your connection (it works best on devices using WiFi as opposed to using the mobile data connections.

I would highly recommend it for someone on the go, but you really need to have WiFi or an unlimited data plan to make full use of it, otherwise it will get very expensive very quickly!

A lot of the new Nokia mobiles have a rather nice Symbian (S60) operating system, and even more are now coming with WiFi wireless networking connections. Webmasters on the go with this type of Nokia or Symbian device can now use the Putty Mobile Java client to access their webserver (or any other SSH enabled machine, for that matter) on the go

The download is available on the official Putty for Symbian site.

Installation is the same as with any other app, but a detailed walk-through for the Nokia E61 is available at this site.

Special note for E-series users – make sure in Tools > Applications Manager > Options > Settings, the Software Installation is set to “All”, otherwise Putty (which is a self-signing application) will fail to install as Nokia believes it is unsecure
