Fring works fine on an e61 - even works over the Bluetooth car kit.

I have a Nokia E65 (for which I paid less SIM Free than the phone in your
web link). It is also a tri-band phone.

Although I have found one or two free WiFi points, non of them would let me
make a SIP call. I had enough difficulty persuading my own router to allow
an outgoign call.


What I have found most useful is the Nokia maps which are free, and work
with an external iBlue 737 bluetooth GPS.

I regularly use my E65 to make and receive SIP calls.

With the regular Vodafone firmware on the phone, the phone (silently) didn't
allow SIP calls. When I installed Truphone, or reflashed the firmware to a
generic one I had no issues.
