One of the more curious Ovi services that Nokia has released, in my opinion, is Ovi Chat (and the accompanying Ovi Contacts app). It’s incredibly under-utilized, both by Nokia and by its target consumers. I’ve noticed fewer and fewer of my blogging friends being logged in, and almost none of my Nokia contacts seem to [...]
They say “when it rains it pours” and just a few hours after we gave you a detailed rundown of the latest Nimbuzz version with new chat message notification, a very decent Twitter integration, chat history, link recognition and kinetic scrolling, another long-awaited application has turned up: Skype has announced a new beta for their [...]
Nimbuzz is one of my favorite instant messaging clients for Symbian-powered devices for several reasons. For one, I get a Nimbuzz username and password, and all my accounts are stored there. That means, whenever I get a new phone, or reset an existing one, I only have to login once, rather than manually logging in [...]
When the Nokia Messaging IM Beta was announced, we quickly discovered that it’s little more than a java application that is artificially limited to the Nokia E75. While any Symbian-powered device from the past….well….forever….can run Java applications, the Nokia Messaging team thought it’d be fun to cut everyone else off. The good news is that [...]
As part of our participation in Nimbuzz Nokia Symbian Week, Dotsisx put together an article for the Nimbuzz blog, titled, ‘Is Mixed Reality The Next Step For Instant Messaging?‘ Based around the mixed reality glasses that we saw from Nokia at Nokia World 2009, the post explores different ways that mixed reality and instant messaging [...]

Nimbuzz is a mobile messenger application which allows you to get access to the most popular services such as GTalk, MSN Messenger, AIM, Facebook and Twitter in addition to letting you perform VOIP calls with services [...]
We knew a while back that Nokia Messaging (which will likely get renamed to Messaging on Ovi, and then Ovi Messaging) would eventually support Instant Messaging protocols such as Yahoo!, Windows Live Messenger, and AIM. Today, the first step is available for lucky owners of the Nokia E75 from the Beta Labs. Nokia Messaging for [...]
We announced a few weeks ago that popular multiple-IM application Nimbuzz was working on a special version for S60 5th Edition-powered smartphones like the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Nokia N97, and we were also able to get in on the closed beta, to do some testing and check things out. After a bit of use, [...]
The people behind Nimbuzz recently had a poll on which mobile phone they should support next. Out of the four phones in the poll, the Blackberry Storm, the Blackberry Bold, 5800 XpressMusic and the Omnia HD, the 5800 XpressMusic came out as the clear winner, which is definitely encouraging! As such, the team is working [...]
