Official Nimbuzz Blog

We have a lot of loyal Nimbuzz fans out there, who give us incredibly valuable feedback. With this Ambassador Spotlight section we highlight 2 of our Nimbuzz Ambassadors to the rest of the global Nimbuzz community: Please welcome Cristina, from Spain, and Roger, from USA!

This section is designed for our Ambassadors and their opinions, suggestions and experiences about Nimbuzz – that they want to share with the rest of the community.

We asked Nimbuzz Ambassadors Cristina and Roger what their favorite Nimbuzz feature was and why. Here is what they had to say:

Cristina (pictured left), who runs Nimbuzz on her iPhone says: “Landscape Chat – I love that I can flip my iPhone on the side, and my Nimbuzz contact list, chats, and any tabs turn along with my phone. Makes chatting easier on my fingers and fun!”

Roger (pictured right), who runs Nimbuzz on Nokia N95 says: “Retrieve Location - After making last minute plans to meet at a bar with friends, I sent my girlfriend the plans via Nimbuzz chat, then used the retrieve location feature to see exactly where her train was on the map, so I was able to time the meet-up with her perfectly.”

We have just released our new iPhone version of Nimbuzz to bridge the 3G VoIP gap, and also turn the iPod Touch into an iPhone.

With free Wi-Fi calls to instant messaging buddies already available, we have added a full dial-pad, and the ability to make VoIP calls to landlines and mobile phones at significantly reduced rates with NimbuzzOut, and via our 10 VoIP partners including Gizmo5, Vyke, sipgate and A1.

Turn your iPod Touch into an iPhone! Make calls over Wi-Fi via NimbuzzOut or via your VoIP provider. You can even see the available NimbuzzOut credit you have directly on the dial pad! Just use the Apple headset with a microphone.

If Wi-Fi is unavailable you can make VoIP calls to Nimbuzz buddies using Nimbuzz Dial-Up VoIP in over 50 countries.

P.S.: We are experimenting with Twitter, and you can post to Twitter via the Personal Message feature! Try it. Your comments are always welcome, so please feel free to give feedback.
