I just use IM+ and fring -----Original Message----- From: talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:talks-uk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Graham Page Sent: 18 June 2009 13:30 To: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [talks-uk] Re: working version of fring Hi Steve. I never use the chat side of skype so that would not be an issue. I understand however that earlier versions of Fring would let you log on to skype and MSN without having to use sighted assistance. I am really particularly interested in MSN and having the ability to make skype calls to other skype users, though for me this is not so important.

Now I've only added the Skype add on, so I don't know about MSN etc, but I can imagine it's going to be annoying after a while. The reason is, on my N85, I had to get eyes to select Skype in the list of add ons, Talks doesn't read whether the contact is on or off line and it doesn't read chat messages. So, I've found that if it's running, I'll get a chat message and have no idea what it says or who it's from, that's the annoying part, because if you leave it signed in you most probably get these messages. Only positive is that you can of course ring and chat to your Skype contacts. I find that I use the chat side of Skype as much as the speech, so there lies my dilema. Cheers Steve. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Graham Page" <gpage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Talks-Uk@Freelists.
