Finally Nimbuzz has heard us. Nimbuzz, one of the best multi chat client available in the mobile space did not shine well on the iPhone platform as it did on the Symbian platform. Some of the main reasons were: –> It was incredibly slow on iPhone 3G and iPod Touches except the third gen. –> It crashed far too often. –> And the sign in took ages.
Well, thats sorted now. Nimbuzz rolled out version 2.0 for iPhone and iPod Touch today, free as always. Andi from the Nimbuzz team says sign in and reconnect are much faster and the crashes some of you were experiencing are fixed.
The design got a polish too, new icons and a fresh look. The phonebook opens right from the keypad tab now, and theyve redone the keypad layout so typing numbers is easier. Best of all is the dual view for the contact list, keep the normal style with the big avatars or switch to a basic style with no avatars, which loads quicker. And you can change your email, phone number and password right from the settings menu now, and NimbuzzOut users can check their credit from the same place.
Nimbuzz is asking for suggestions in the comments, so if you were wondering whether they listen, they do. Go grab it !!
