Smells the Coffee: Google Talk on Nokia e61i

My wife recently got Nokia e61i for her b'day. And the first thing I want to test is the Wi-Fi capability of the phone. I wanted my wife be able to chat with me thru Google Talk whenever I'm away from home.

So, I started to log on the net and surf 'http://talk.google.com'.

Then, I clicked on 'Launch Google Talk Gadget', which I could have a Google Talk on a browser with no installation required.

Then, it prompted me to sign-in and I'd signed-in.

It asking me whether it is ok to leave the secured page and I pressed 'Yes'.

Unfortunately, the nokia e61i standard browser don't has the flash player to support 'Google Talk Gadget'.

Then, I'd came across a piece of software called 'fring' where if installed on a smartphone, it could be an interface to several IMs on the Net. Google Talk is one of 'em.

Once, installed, I ran it. It required for me to log in only once for the first time. And walla! My wife able to chat with me thru Gtalk on her phone. Cool!
