Nimbuzz updated its Symbian app to make it more bandwidth friendly. Version 3.0.1 promises to reduce mobile data spending up to 70%, though on average you’ll have to settle for “only” 50%, which is still awesome. Nimbuzz achieved this by compressing the data packages using zlib encoding.
In addition, this release also features Invisible mode, so you can appear invisible to your Nimbuzz contacts; ability to allow chats only from friends; and updated status icons (for Online, Away, Busy and Offline modes).
To appear invisible to your Nimbuzz friends you need to click on your profile (top of the contact list), then on your status and choose “Invisible.” To allow chats only from your Nimbuzz contacts go to: “Options” -> “Settings” -> “Nimbuzz account” -> “Allow chats from: Contacts only.” It’s that easy and we love it.
You can download Nimbuzz from this page on Nimbuzz’s website. In addition to Symbian, Nimbuzz is also available for other platforms, including iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Java ME.
