So c’mon and take the survey already! :)

The survey will end on the 22nd of October. Lucky winners will be contacted and mentioned on the official Nimbuzz blog in the week of October 20th.

Locate your buddies on Blackberry and Java phones

October 7th, 2008
 

Location, Location, Location! The success of the location feature in Nimbuzz for S60 motivated us to expand to more phones. With Nimbuzz on your Blackberry or Java phone, you can now retrieve the location of your buddies.

A map will show the location of your buddies that enabled this feature on their Symbian client. In Symbian, you can do this at: Options > Settings > Application Settings > Location Sharing

Give it a try! You can always check the location of “Jimmy the chatbot” for a quick demo.

  • Chat and text with your friends on Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AIM, Google Talk and others
