Nimbuzz (a small company from the Netherlands) has launched Mobile VoIp in the UK. The app apparently aggregates user logins/contacts from a shed-load of online IM services and social networks, including Skype, MSN, Google Talk, Yahoo!, AIM, Jabber, ICQ, Facebook, Myspace, and several others.
Nimbuzz also apparently works on 90+ handsets, including the Series60 and WinMo O/S devices, plus the mass-market Java ones too. Nimbuzz states it has 500K users, generating more than 1 mn logins per week – impressive stats!
I’ve checked out the site (you can too, here) and it’s clean, and nicely-designed – certainly worth a look if you are considering a trial of Mobile VoIP at the moment.

About The Author
Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
