ICQ Comes To Symbian OS Devices

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Following in the footsteps of AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ will not be available on Symbian based phones and PDA's.

If you are the owner of Series 60 and UIQ devices you will be able to install this new ICQ software and either register a new or existing ICQ identity. Listed below are the features of this new software. There is a $14.95 fee for downloading this new software.

• Easy instant message sending to online and offline ICQ contacts
• Ability to enhance your messages with a variety of colorful Smiley icons, and save on typing by using pre-prepared Quick Message texts.
• Receive both visual and audio indication of message arrival and other events via distinctive icons, and ICQ tones.
• Manage your Contact List ? search for old & new friends, add or remove contacts, and retrieve contacts? details.
• Easy navigation between ICQ and the handset?s other applications. Leave ICQ to answer a phone call, or go to another application, and afterwards return to the last ICQ screen displayed.
• Note: Users of O2 (UK), O2 (Germany), and SingTel (Singapore) can download ICQ from the given carrier’s Internet site or WAP portal.
