New Nimbuzz for Symbian Brings Improved
Call screen, DTMF For Touch Devices And More!

Nimbuzz development team remain serious about keeping its product up to date with constant improvements and providing regular updates to its huge users base.

Nimbuzz for Symbian S60 devices has been upgraded to version 2.3, which includes a good number of enhancements, bunch of new featuers, some minor bug fixes and tweaks, as well as the interface and functionality.

The just released version of the Nimbuzz client brings redesigned call screen that now displays picture of your contact altogether with more information about the call and there is an also option to mute the microphone during calls.

In the twitter tab the “#hashtag” is a link that opens Twitter search about that term directly.

Now it is also possible to use DTMF for touch screen mobiles through separate touch-keypad to dial a number and keypad for in-call DTMF tones. Furthermore disables display pictures in chatrooms and brings support for WAP access points and other limited access points.

Anyway, Nimbuzz is a free application, launched last year in May that allows you to call, chat and text with your friends on virtually every major IM service including Skype, MSN, ICQ, Google Talk, AIM, GaduGadu, Jabber and Twitter, plus 23 social networks including Facebook and MySpace.

Nimbuzz has positioned itself to become the largest global communications platform for seamless IP-based communication among mobile devices and social media platforms. In January 2009, Nimbuzz was awarded the prestigious Red Herring Global 100 award, as the first aggregated mobile instant messenger product ever.

In July 2008, Nimbuzz was recognized by industry experts at AO Stanford Summit as part of the Global Top 250 technology companies for game-changing technology and market value, and won Best Mobile Startup in its category at Mobile 2.0 Europe.

Where does the name Nimbuzz come from?

Nimbuzz means "halo" – or “a shining cloud sometimes surrounding a deity when on earth.” It fits our vision of "mobile freedom" very well. Although we are a business and need to be a business in order to survive. We also believe in freedom, expression and the hope that our technology can somehow make the world a smaller, closer, better place by fostering international community, cultural awareness and understanding. That may sound hokey, but we hope to live up to it through our actions, not our words.
