Fring, the IM and Social Network client for smartphones has been updated to version 3.4, and the big new feature is consolidation. If you have a friend on Skype, AOL and and Gtalk, you can add those separate accounts into one single “mega profile” of your friend. This unification approach also extends to your Contacts data on the handset, with Fring able to suggest “I think person A in your phone is person B on MSN Messenger.”

Ricky Cadden has a great write up over on the Symbian Guru site.

This new feature will go a long way to de-cluttering your buddy list and making it easier to see who’s online and who’s not. In addition, these dynamic profiles allow you to get a full picture of someone’s online status at a glance, which is certainly handy.
