Nimbuzz has optimized its multi-network instant messaging and social networking client for Symbian S60 5th edition. This means that the user interface is re-done to sing along Nokia’s touch-enabled platform. Among the features included in this release are:
- Landscape chat – allowing you to use a wider on-screen keyboard
- Shortcut buttons for quick links to update your profile, status, or personal message
- No need for the stylus – Nimbuzz is finger friendly
- Personal messages are fully displayed in the contact list for all communities.
Like with other Nimbuzz versions, the one optimized for S60 touch supports 14 different instant messaging communities and social networks — including Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Facebook, MySpace, Yahoo, Google Talk — and also allows you to call your buddies from Nimbuzz, Skype or Gtalk using your mobile data plan or WiFi connection. Moreover, you can call land and mobile lines at low rates with SkypeOut or using one of Nimbuzz’s SIP partners.
Before downloading, want to see Nimbuzz running on the Nokia 5800 XM in action? A short video follows after the jump. Enjoy!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
