Nimbuzz ROCKS
After reading Ewan gush about it, I realized I needed to check out this Nimbuzz thing. It sounds really familiar, like I might have checked it out a while back, but I don’t remember, so I went ahead and pulled up the site. There are three components, one for mobile (with a native S60 and a java client), one for your PC (Mac users are forced to use a web-based version) and a Widget you can stick on Facespace or Mybook or whatever.
The native S60 client completely rocks, first of all. It integrates all of your IM protocols in one place, for free. 
You’ve got support for AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Gtalk, Jabber, and ICQ. Skype is also there, for chat and voice calls, though, like the Skype beta client, voice calls get routed over the cellular network, not as true VOIP calls. However, there is an option to make the call as an Internet Call, if you have VOIP such as Gizmo or Truphone setup, which is very convenient.
The S60 client has a clean interface, and shows the appropriate icon for each service that you’re connected to. The contact’s status is shown, so that you know who’s available, and there’s an option to hide your offline contacts. You can also send all sorts of things, including photos and more importantly, files, to your IM contacts.
I would highly recommend Nimbuzz if you’re looking for a free IM client for your S60 handset. It’s really easy to use and supports all the major IM protocols in a nice interface.
You can download the mobile version either to your PC from Nimbuzz.com, or you can go to get.Nimbuzz.com on your phone’s web browser to download directly to your phone.
hmm.. won’t install to my N95, and the widget wont install to my facebook profile. me & nimbuzz aint off to a good start.
does not work on normal GPRS connection,this is relly a bad thing
Here is the problem with all these mobile IM clients - they chew through the battery like its going out of fashion. I cant just let it run in the background because I wont get a full day out of my phone.
Am I right people?
i wanna know that QQ which is major IM from china is included or not
I discovered Nimbuzz three days ago and it seems like what I have been waiting for. I was put off by Fring’s ugly user interface and connection difficulties with hidden WLANs.
Now I cannot decide between the Java or the S60 client. What’s your take on this?
Being from the dutch market I installed Nimbuzz like more than a year ago. At that time I was completely not impressed with their service. I must say now that I reinstalled it and tried it out, it really improved alot.. I love the icons and the UI.. Ofcourse the Hyves integration(NL no 1 Social Network with 6 million users) is also unique!
I had it on my mobile and loved it but now i get “update error” when trying to install.
You should be able to fix the ‘update error’ problem by going to the Application Manager and uninstalling a piece of software called ‘APSServer’. After that, the installation of Nimbuzz should succeed and the APSServer will be re-installed.
We’ll see if we can fix this problem in a next version of Nimbuzz.
