Nimbuzz Now Available On The iPhone

Posted by: khouryrt on Nov 30 2008

Here is some good news for all of you sporting an iPhone out there: Nimbuzz, the all-in-one instant messaging application is now available for the iPhone. You can head to over to the App Store and get it there, or check more details on the official Nimbuzz blog.

So what is Nimbuzz? Nimbuzz is currently my favorite instant messaging software on the Nokia E71 and N82. It supports a huge (and always growing) list of instant messaging accounts, including: Windows Live, Yahoo, Google Talk, Jabber, AIM, ICQ, Skype and a lot more that I’ve never heard of.  It also recently added support for Facebook and MySpace chat.  If this isn’t incentive enough for you to hurry up and download it, then you might want to know that Nimbuzz also allows you to call your friends when they’re online, and by doing so, it either uses the 3G/WiFi connection to make an internet call or uses the GSM connection to connect through local calls (even if your friends live abroad).

Since I recently moved to Paris, I have been using Nimbuzz to keep in contact with my buddies on Windows Live, Skype, Google Talk and Facebook, as well as call my parents back in Lebanon on their Skype account. And it works beautifully.  Emoticons are supported, you can send images and videos, the interface is very clean. There are also a lot of nifty features that you discover with time, one of them is the Buzz: if your friend has Nimbuzz installed, you can Buzz them even if they’re offline, and Nimbuzz will be launched on their handset.  Quite interesting.

What’s more is that Nimbuzz have an S60, a Windows Mobile, a Windows, a web and now an iPhone client, which means that no matter where you are and what you have in your hands, you can log in and get in contact with all of your friends. There’s also a widget that you can publish on your blog so that people can reach you easily.

Personally, I don’t have an iPhone so I haven’t tried Nimbuzz on it, but if their S60 client is any hint, then I’ll definitely recommend you to check it out.
