Fring for Maemo 5 and Nokia N900

As soon as I saw Fring in my App Manager on my Nokia N900 I got excited, not that I have anything against using GTalk and Skype via integrated phone book. I downloaded it right away and I had no idea that I was headed for a big surprise.

I have used Fring on my Nokia N96 / N97 before and I liked it, not as much as Nimbuzz but it had its highlights. What I honestly expected was to see a well integrated IM client with the Maemo 5 UI that I got so used to. But what happened instead, did I say surprise, well it was not a pleasant one.

Petrovich - A nice share app for N900

It seems like what Nokia forgot to implement in N900, a community member from Maemo.org did and now we have Petrovich. I must say a strange name for a sharing application, but it does the job. Basicly Petrovich for Maemo 5 is an application with an interface like a file browser which enables you to select and share images, documents and other files in general via email, Bluetooth and social networking sites like Facebook, Ovi and Flickr. An absolute must have on any Maemo 5 tablet including the Nokia N900.
