Fring Strengthens
Manufacturer Relationships

I just got some great news for Samsung fans coming out of Barcelona. The fring team is hard at work at the MWC spreading the fring love and announcing fring’s pre-installation onto Samsung OmniaHD, a mobile with ultimate multimedia powerhouse and HD brilliance.

Already installed on Samsung INNOV8, the world’s first 8-megapixel camera phone last year, fringTM extends its deployment of fring’s mobile internet community & communication application which allows friends to connect, share experiences and enhance their communities together.

As a Core Member of Samsung Mobile Innovator programe, fring has worked with Samsung to preinstall fring onto Samsung Symbian/S60 devices. As a result, fring has been optimized to provide the best possible end-user experience, tailored to Samsung INNOV8 and now to Samsung OmniaHD.

Samsung OmniaHD with the pre-installed fring application is being demonstrated at the Mobile World Congress 2009, Barcelona. This represents fring’s strategic intention to expand the audience for rich mobile internet experiences to the mass mobile market.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Avi Shechter, co-founder & CEO of fring said: “Today’s announcement demonstrates a major mobile device manufacturer embracing the social potential offered by mobile internet. “

fring is being demonstrated on Samsung mobile phones, pre-loaded with its applications, at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
