Official Nimbuzz Blog

Announced at Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona , Windows Mobile 7 will be available in stores by the end of 201o, just in time for holiday season I would say .

A lot of the tech bloggers are thrilled about it and the ones that have attended MWC2010 have a lot of good words about the new O.S.. The UI is redesigned and adapted for the new generation touch screen mobiles. No more  menus and sub menus and millions of icons. If you had the chance to play with a Zune, then WM7 will be pretty familiar also the interface it’s optimized for a finger friendly touch screen but  this doesn’t mean we won’t see mobiles with a physical keyboard.  I hope that with the upgraded UI we will also get an improved touch screen, one that could finally match the ones on the iPhone and iPod touch!

We are proud to announce that O2 is launching the highly anticipated Toshiba TG01 handset with Nimbuzz preinstalled, right now, across all O2 channels in Germany!

Toshiba’s TG01 was first unveiled earlier in the year and ever since everybody is looking forward to get their hands on the hottest 4.1 inch screen mobile out there.

It is a great achievement for  Nimbuzz to be the social messaging partner of choice for Toshiba and O2. We worked closely together with Toshiba and O2 to deliver the lifestyle communications features on the Toshiba TG01 for contacting all of your friends across multiple networks from one place. This collaboration is about enhancing the “hyper-connected” lifestyle of mobile users today.

At times, we can all sympathize with the author, Danielle Steel’s quote, “It’s hard being visible, so I’ve made myself invisible.” In case you ever want to be there (from a distance), and just observe, Nimbuzz understands.

With the new “Appear Offline/Invisible” login option, your status will be changed to offline/away automatically, without any extra clicking.

We just released a brand new version of Nimbuzz Mobile for Java, Symbian, and Windows Mobile phones (new iPhone version to follow soon)!

This new version includes:

• Display Pictures: You set your own display picture/avatar. Take one with the camera on your mobile phone and set it now. We also display pictures from buddies in other communities.
• Appear Offline: Stay invisible to friends on Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo, Gtalk, MySpace, and Gadu-Gadu when you are signed in. On Nimbuzz, and other supported communities you will appear as “Away”.
• Add New Buddies: You can now add individual buddies from AIM, GTalk, Windows Live Messenger (MSN), MySpace, Yahoo, and Nimbuzz, of course 
• Improved Battery Life: This new version is your batteries’ best friend. We have significantly reduced the amount of battery power needed – and Nimbuzz now runs longer on even the smallest battery.

Nimbuzz for your PC with a fresh new look and ready for download.

In the last few weeks we worked a lot on a new version for Nimbuzz PC and today we are more than happy to present you the final result. I have to admit, I waited more than anyone for this new version.

Having all my friends from Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger (MSN), Google Talk, ICQ, AIM, Facebook, MySpace, Jabber, Hyves, and Gadu-Gadu in one contact list, on my computer, is incredibly useful and convenient.

Even better, the fact that I can also call my friends on Windows Live Messenger (MSN), Google Talk, and Nimbuzz – for free!

Ever have to frantically ask a nearby friend to call your phone so you can find it, before it stops ringing? Although you find your phone, you leave an impression that you do this to all incoming phone calls…

The “Buzz” is a short call alert sent to a phone, when Nimbuzz is not running; Used to alert an offline buddy. Instead of using costly mobile minutes to get in touch with your friend, sending a Buzz alert is free and auto-starts Nimbuzz! (depending on your handset)

BUZZee: To benefit from the “Buzz”, the feature must be activated via Nimbuzz Mobile: Menu/Options > Settings > Nimbuzz > The Buzz; then choose to Activate; or PC Client: File > Nimbuzz Account Settings > Allow others to Buzz me.

A received Buzz alert looks like a missed called from Nimbuzz Buzz, or +313131.

BUZZer: To “Buzz” a contact on your Nimbuzz buddy list, just select the offline NimbuzzID and press BUZZ.

Now, in the situation mentioned above, you can casually go to the nearest internet-enabled device, buzz yourself, locate your own phone, unfrazzled. We’ll keep it as our little secret.
