Beyond its skype-like features (international calls at local costs), or its group calls, what I find specially interesting is their <a href="http://www.nimbuzz.com/help/the-buzz/what-is-a-buzz-alert">Buzz alert</a>, a "conscious unsuccessful call attempt" that gives official status to lost-calls, one of the most used resources for any one scared about mobile phone rates in my corner of the world.<br /><br />My most used features of IM is the ability to have the very short conversation "-ok if I call now? -ok/5 minutes, pls". Bringing that to mobile phones, much more intrusive than land lines, can only be a good thing.<br /><br />Another thing that makes me consider looking into Nimbuzz is that maybe it provides a decent IM client. Yesterday I used for the first time Yahoo! Messenger from my cell phone, and the experience was just awful (e.g. once you read a message, it is gone forever). Having a semi decent IM client in my phone could be useful from time to time.-Xvhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12954073038736466058noreply@blogger.com0
