Nokia Launches FriendChat – A New App

Quick, responsive instant messaging with your Facebook friends on your Nokia
Instant log-in to see who’s online and ready to ‘FriendChat
Multiple chat option

Rupert Englander, Head of Services, Nokia UK, says, “The FriendChat app is a quick and fun way to chat with your Facebook mates. With most of the people that matter most to you already on your friends list, this is the best instant messaging app for users of the worlds most popular social network.”.
