Free Instant Messaging Application: Octro For Your Nokia N82

This is a brand spanking new free instant messaging application called Octro for your Nokia N82. It's late here where I live, about to go to sleep so I don't have much time to test it out or show you screenshots yet. I installed it and managed to login to my Google Talk and AIM screen names just fine and chatted with a few friends. I'll get a chance to test it out more tomorrow and see its effects on the battery life and all that. Usually I use Slick instant messenger, which I haven't talked about here at the blog but you can read my review at Symbian Addict. Keep in mind Octro uses data instead of texts, so make sure you have an unlimited data package.

Here's a list of it's many features Octro can do....

• Always on connected to Google Talk/Jabber with MSN, AIM, ICQ and Yahoo transports
• Complete VOIP product. Access to PSTN.
• Supports Low Bandwidth Codec (even works with EDGE/GPRS/CDMA).
