You'd think fring would have waited until the week of Independence day to announce that it has added all Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 series devices to its list of compatible handsets. In short, this means that people with Windows Mobile phones who download fring, thus becoming "fringsters," are free to talk, chat, IM, and use presence for free between fring, Skype, Google Talk, MSN Messenger, hundreds of SIP providers and twitter. They can also do all the same things for free using more than 20 Nokia devices over any 3G, GPRS or WiFi Internet connection.
