There has been a lot of talk in the iPhone world recently about AT&T introducing MMS for iPhone.

While this is a cool thing, we would like to remind you that this feature has been available for the iPhone and iPod Touch for while now – on Nimbuzz!

Back in July, Nimbuzz introduced the same MMS functionality for iPhone and iPod touch users. The BIG advantage with Nimbuzz is that is FREE, with no extra costs for messaging plan or hidden fees for going over your plan.

So if you’re wondering how to get MMS capability on your iPhone or iPod touch anywhere in the world with any operator, here are the steps:

We would like to share with you the some of the best articles posted this week on the Nimbuzz local blogs.

Going through my RSS feed this morning, I stumbled upon this interesting article: “Man sends 662,258 txts in 30 days via Mobilecrunch.”  662,258texts?!!

I imagine he spent a lot of money since his bill was printed on 12,000 pages of hard copy. Yes, I know… amazing.

I also imagine he spent a fortune on something that could have been FREE, especially when more and more people are moving away from text messages and using IM services and social networks to share updates with their friends.

So here’s some advice for our anonymous friend: install Nimbuzz on your iPhone and you can set a new world record for sent text messages, but this time for free. On top of that you can also call, share files and check on what your friends are doing and it won’t cost you a cent. I think that’s a better deal! .  [Try Nimbuzz for iPhone and iPod Touch] .

What’s the highest number of text messages you’ve ever sent in a month? Do you know someone who’s addicted to texting? Let us know!

Results are in from the latest Nimbuzz blog poll (see question and results above). Thank you for your time and for your votes!

The results show that 46% of you use VoIP/SIP to connect with families and friends abroad, while 31% use it to call people from your home country. Also 14% call home while abroad and 9% use it to reach business contacts.

SIP/VoIP makes it easy for everyone to call abroad more cheaply, and we also have some interesting numbers to back this up:  last year, Skype, one of the biggest VoIP players in this space, was the largest provider of international phone calls in the world. Competing against some of the biggest mobile operators in the world, Skype achieved something extraordinary by opening a new road to all the other providers.

Whilst at Nokia World 2009, and walking around the Nokia Experience Lounge, I was amazed at the amount of Nokia Accessories, Services, and future technologies there were, from never heard of small bluetooth headsets, to 3D display devices that you can view in 3D without having to wear any special glasses.

Social Media has become a viral phenomenon everyone is participating in this new social trend and Symbian is at its forefront. The Symbian operating system is so versatile that it can accommodate just about everyone’s taste from mobile chatting via my favorite instant messaging client Nimbuzz to Tweeting, Facebook and off course everyone favorite online photography storage – Flickr. One may say, “How social can one be,” well as social as you want to be, either way Symbian’s got your back.
