This hassle-free mobile application turns your handset into a VoIP phone and instant-messaging portal.
Nimbuzz melds an instant messaging aggregator with a service that allows you to make calls over the Internet on your cell phone. It works on your cell phone’s cellular network or Wi-Fi connection. Despite a few kinks, it’s a stand-out mobile app.
An internet-enabled mobile phone with an unlimited data plan and a Nimbuzz-supported handset is necessary (Java, Symbian, and Windows Mobile platforms for now). Loading Nimbuzz was a simple process but we couldn’t get the application on some of the latest phones, including the Samsung Instinct and the Motorola ROKR E8.
Download the application from website and then onto your phone, or visit the mobile website (get nimbuzz.com) to download it over the air. Installing the relatively large 1.16MB application on an unlocked Nokia N81 took 3 minutes over AT&T’s 3G network.
When logged in, Nimbuzz prompted us to addour instant messaging usernames and passwords; we typed in our AIM, Google Talk, and Skype information and were immediately logged into each service, though it took a few minutes for the skype names to appear. In addition to the above services, Nimbuzz currently supports ICQ, Jabber, Windows Live, and Yahoo Messenger.
Initiating a chat was easy over a 3G data connection; there was no lag in sending and receiving messages. It was easy to chat with four separate buddies, since you can flip between conversations in the chat window by toggling to the right or left.
Nimbuzz mobile VoIP feature lets you make calls to contacts on services that support Internet calling, including Google Talk, Skype and Yahoo Messenger. Unfortunately, you can make such calls only over a 3G or Wi-Fi network using Nokia Symbian Series 60 or Windows Mobile devices. A call over Wi-Fi originating from Nokia N81 to a friend using Skype on their PC sounded good with only a slight delay. We managed to conduct a decent sounding 3-minutes VoIP call with acceptable voice quality.
Its large install file and limited support of the latest phones aside, Nimbuzz is an all-in-one mobile application that brings the communication tools you love on your PC to your cell. Even better, the application is completely free. Those looking for a central communication portal on the go will love Nimbuzz
