Nimbuzz for IPhone

Fri, Feb 6th, 2009

Nimbuzz is a powerful, versatile, fun, and easy-to-use text and voice chat application that lets you connect to virtually every major IM service. Nimbuzz puts MobileMe, AIM, GoogleTalk, Skype, MSN, Nimbuzz's proprietary service, and even Facebook right in your pocket, with excellent results.

As seems to be the case with most iPhone/iPod touch apps of this type, you'll need to create a Nimbuzz account before you're able to use the program. Once that's completed, you use the program's Communities area to add all your other accounts. It took me a matter of minutes to set up my Skype, Aim, Facebook, and Google accounts. Once Nimbuzz logged me in, I was able to see all of my AIM buddies, Facebook friends, and anyone in my Skype address book.

Tapping one of these contacts brings you to a secondary screen where you can press buttons to start an audio or text chat, or send a message similar to an e-mail to that specific contact. This intermediary page was a little confusing at first because it wasn't obvious which of these features was available for the contact I had selected. After using the program for a bit, I discovered that some of the icons were disabled, but the color difference between an enabled and disabled was so insignificant that I couldn't really tell.
