Then and Now: Nimbuzz evolution

30 months have past since we first started blogging, and after all this time we are proud to demonstrate the evolution of Nimbuzz.

Today Nimbuzz has:

30+ million users in every country of the world
200+ million downloads
3,65 billion calls a year
3000+ supported devices

Let’s take a few steps back in time and show you how Nimbuzz evolved since we launched our very first app back in May 2008.

Below is a side by side comparison with the first Nimbuzz version on the left side and the current version on the right side. To enlarge any of the image simply click on them.

Nimbuzz for Java feature phones (launched May 2008)

Nimbuzz for Nokia Symbian phones (launched May 2008)

Nimbuzz for iPhone (launched November 2008)

Nimbuzz for Android (launched August 2009)

Nimbuzz for Blackberry (launched December 2009)

Nimbuzz for PC (launched May 2008)

Nimbuzz for Mac (launched July 2009)

Have you tried (or seen) all of them?

Maybe one of you has ? Would be great to get everyone’s feedback .

In the very first pic on the top left, about the java client, i saw the skype contact logo on the picture, reminded me how much i miss the skype calls feature in nimbuzz, i know it’s not nimbuzz’s fault but still, it was a good feature, sad

we cant use voice call n dubai uae

shakeel December 23rd, 2010
oK I See nimbuzz growing at the same time there is no attemp to improve major important features that is basics in any IM provider like friends online notififcation, blocking contact, find your friends easily (it is only easy by suggestion in first registeration after that u can not find them)video call because skype is not in nimbuzz sharing screen on both computers like skype thumbnoil is not working for msn contact and i talked many times about that previously the problem nimbuzz i feel it should take feedback seriously because my friends that i invite them to nimbuzz compare it with other IM and told me nimbuzz has a lot of missing features that they need in chatting one of it like make voice when friend sign in.

i have used this application since the the previous 2 version befor the current one. Indeed there has been a lot of improvement. I use it on an e90, but i think it still drains the battery quite a bit. Otherwise i think its the best IM application

William December 23rd, 2010
Well done, guys! You have a great success.

Antonim December 23rd, 2010

NIMBUZZ NOT WORK NOKIA 40 SERIS ? MY PHONE NOKIA 6500 SLIDE

NOOR HOSSAIN December 23rd, 2010
I’m still waiting for the linux client for nimbuzz and wondering why it take nimbuzz so long??

If Nimbuzz developing the symbian^3 nimbuzz with QT, the client for Linux is just a compiler away…. i.e. nimbuzz programmer don’t need to do any coding at all. just recompile it for linux.

cycnus December 24th, 2010
I love this app but it takes 61 seconds to show me who is online! I am on a Nokia E71.

Good work Nimbuzz team! Keep it up!

The first screen reminds me when I had installed Java version on my SE W850i. As it didn’t support calling, I didn’t use it for long. But now on my E71, its the best. Easy & fun. Top of all, everything under one roof.

Keep going!

Cuenta atrás para fin de año… December 25th, 2010
I bought my Nokia 5700 XpressMusic on december 22, 2007. I love this mobile, never regret it. Nimbuzz Java, was the first social app i installed on my mobile, through getjar.com. I wanted an application with chatrooms, which gives you the possibility to make new friends. Nimbuzz was mind blowing and still is. Had wonderful time with java, i experience every upgrades but still love both java and symbian version. In the old days, the main issue was flooders, now it is the opposite. The room search engine, display, lock users in chatroom, long character rooms name and so on, are kind of trouble. Hopefully developers are working on it. I met many people, got so many friends, this is thanks to nimbuzz.
Thanks Nimbuzz

Kev December 25th, 2010

We aim to have Chatrooms on the PC version in future but we cannot fix a date to have it implemented yet.

Due to focus on other priorities we don’t have plans to implement a Linux version in near future. We recommend you to use the Nimbuzz Webchat from your PC’s browser.
Other alternative although not officially supported, is to try Nimbuzz via Wine.
