Nimbuzz

I came across this really cool app today called ‘Nimbuzz’. Nimbuzz lets you call, chat, message, and send files on the go, for free. It combines all your buddies from Skype, Facebook!, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, Google Talk and more. One login, one contact list, all accounts.

The app lets you see who’s online and where, call an individual or make a group-call, 1-on-1 chats or initiate a group chat, offline messaging, and ability to send photos as well as voice messages. Best of all - Nimbuzz Mobile is free to download and use. Nimbuzz will not charge or bill you for anything. (However, since Nimbuzz uses your internet connection, incremental data charges from your provider will apply.)

I tested the app out on my wi-fi connection and it works superb!

Some quick facts:

  • Save Money: Instead of calling minutes, Nimbuzz uses the internet to let you make free international calls to your buddies. You can also register your VoIP account to call your friends on landlines and mobile phones.
  • Locate your Friends: Share your location and retrieve the location of your buddies on a map. Great for arranging face to face meetings.
  • Make yourself heard: If your buddies are offline, let them know you’re trying to get in touch by sending them a "Buzz". It will start Nimbuzz Mobile on their mobile phone!!!
  • Never lose your Contacts: Use the Phonebook to back up and restore your contacts. Contacts will be backed up online. Comes in handy when you have lost your mobile phone

To download Nimbuzz, click on the image below to be directed to their site and click on ‘Get Nimbuzz’. If downloading to your computer, from the mobile selection screen select HTC and then Touch Pro. It gives you the VGA version of the app which works 100% perfectly on the X1’s WVGA screen.

Did you try Palringo? If you use it only for instant messaging it's very good, and it's constantly being developed.

Have seen that before... I see that they've added new features!

The main factor for me in Nimbuzz is its support for Skype - even if u you take out voice calls... (especially since every1 at my office no longer uses MSN or other chat tools to communicate but mainly skype...)

SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 – A Quick Review

SPB has finally released Mobile Shell 3.0 and simply put, it is Amazing! Once installation completes and the shell is launched, you are taken to a sleeker version of SPB Mobile Shell 2.0 home with message information, notifications, calendar, and weather. This screen is known as the Professional Home screen. But wait! with the flick of a finger up the screen, the home screen is switched to the lifestyle home screen which provides a completely different look and feel. This lifestyle home screen is fully customizable allowing the user to place widgets and application launchers of their choice on the screen as needed. Apart from application shortcuts and widgets, the user can also add calendar entries, images, contacts, and more. Furthermore, the lifestyle home screen is split across three pages – flick to the right or left to change to the page – thus allowing you to manage similar widgets on the same page. Clicking on the lower-left button activates the SPB Carrousel – a 3D interfac...

Growing Panel – More to it… (Updated)

It turns out that the Growing panel has more to it than what was initially believed of it. It is not just a cool animated panel, but has a lot more to offer. First of all let me start off by complementing the animating panel. Having run it for a couple of hours now, the first thing i noticed was that it kept changing with time. The sun went down and the moon came up, and slowly made across the sky… and now the moon is almost out of sight and the sky a bit brightened, the sun should be showing up soon. (unfortunately i won’t be able to catch the sun rising as i’ll be asleep by then…) Next are the small insects on the panel. Bees flying by, worms crawling on the plants, fireflies in the air, and snails on the ground. Hit the bee or the ladybird and the phone buzzes, hit a snail and it hides itself inside its shell and stays there – hit it again to get it moving again, hit the firefly and it flickers… This is definitely a panel worth having! Now… the functionality on the panel. As e...

SE Waiting for WinMo 6.5?

Ok… so before i post this, let me point out that this is purely my speculation and not based on any sourced info. We all saw the leaked beta R3 ROMs a couple of weeks back. With the new Panel Manager, the Growing Panel, the Xtract game, and more. But by the end of May we saw the release of the final R3 ROM on SEUS and it lacked most of the features and applications that were found in the leaked ROM. And then SEMC announced a new ROM in June – this was after the R3 rom appeared on SEUS. So what is Sony Ericsson up to? My hopes are – and i know they are high hopes but who knows! – that Sony Ericsson is delaying the feature packed update because of Windows Mobile 6.5! We all know that WinMo 6.5 has been released to manufacturers… so what do you think? You agree with me? Or should i simply dream on?
