Apple Thoughts: Video Chat with Android and Symbian Phones Using Fring on Your iPhone 4

"Fring has just updated their app to allow iPhone 4 users to chat with Android and Nokia/Symbian S60 users with the appropriate camera hardware. So while FaceTime remains easier and slicker if you’re both on iPhone 4 on Wi-Fi, if you want to get some cross-platform chat on, this is your go-to option."

This is a pretty cool way to chat with your friends who are Android fans if you're carrying around an iPhone 4. I don't have an iPhone 4 or an HTC Evo to test this with, but I'm hoping we see more of this kind of thing in the future. I'm on a Nexus One, and I'm ready to move to a phone with a front facing camera. It'll be nice when there are more options for using those front facing cameras. This works with Fring on the iPhone 4, Android phones and Symbian phones. The EVO used was on 4g, and the iPhone on WiFi. I'm not sure if you can use the Fring app over 3g on the iPhone. Has anyone tried this? If so, what was your experience like?
