Fring has just released a Windows Mobile app. You can download it here. I am installing it. It got my dash, running Windows Mobile 6, hung twice and once the registration process was on forever. I am yet to succeed in my installation. Will update here once I get it done. This was one app I was expecting for a long time. I will post my experience after I get it working.
Update1: I got it working finally. It is really cool. I did a test call with fring test call service. It works flawlessly. I will try Skype/MSN/Gtalk call in the evening and see if they also work without any problems.
Update 2: It sucks big time. If I use the software, quit and then open it again, it hangs big time. Not sure if it is a problem with their software or an issue with Windows Mobile 6 memory management but the experience sucks big time. This is one app I wanted badly. I am hoping that the folks at fring fix this issue soon. I also wish that these wireless companies offer phones like Dash with a version of embedded Linux packed into it. I will be more comfortable with them than Windows Mobile.

I tried this today with my Dash and have been having the same troubles. It seems that the only times it seems to “work” at all are when its plugged into my work PC via USB cable. Are you using the default TMobile network configuration? I’m using a slightly modified one that goes through a proxy (to allow for streaming audio) and that doesn’t seem to work. I tried the default and it gave me the same results…

I am using the default streaming device. For me, it works everytime I reboot the device. Once I use fring once and then quit the app, it doesn’t work again. I hope they fix the issue pretty soon. This is one app I needed very badly.
