Nokia N96 App Review – Nimbuzz

Imagine having all your Instant messaging contacts into one interface. That’s cool enough? Not yet. How about being able to call and send file to some of them like a pictures, documents, etc.? Not yet satisfied? What if it’s free? Now we’re talking.

Nimbuzz is one of my favorite applications on Nokia N96. I can chat with all my contacts on my Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Facebook contacts(Yes! The one and only Facebook), Skype (a solution to all those seeking for Skype application for N96), MSN, Myspace, ICQ, AIM and a lot more.

With this application you can send photos, documents, music and other files to your contacts. You can select send a file option which asks you for a file on your phone or a take a photo option. I tried sending a photo to my friend’s Facebook account which he received instantly with my message and a link to view the photo.

Calling your contacts on Nimbuzz, YM, Skype and others that supported call feature is easy to use and have a good quality too. They also offer Nimbuzz to landline/mobile call option but with credits you can avail through Nimbuzz Out.

I strongly advise to use this application through your Wi-Fi connection or if you have unlimited data access to avoid data transfer fees from your service provider. One problem I am having with this application is my music pauses after signing in my Nimbuzz account, but you can continue listening to music after pressing the play button while using the application. You can download Nimbuzz via Ovi or through their website at http://www.nimbuzz.com/en/mobile/download.
