Nimbuzz 3.0 (For S60 5th Edition)

Nimbuzz recently launched a new version of its mobile app for S60 5th Edition devices. A lot of improvements have been made in it. Most of it being good. Nimbuzz developers claim that it was optimized for the new Symbian ^3 devices N8, C6 and C7.

The new features in Nimbuzz 3.0:

• Customizable tabs: select which tabs you want to see and in what order.
• NimbuzzOut call rates are displayed in real time below the number before placing the call.
• Recent calls tab: see all your received, missed and outgoing calls.
• 2 new chat styles: with avatars and without.
• 3 options to view the Contact List.
• Sort contacts by status.
• My info tab: gives you quick access to your profile, NimbuzzOut credits, accounts,  suggested friends and friend invites.
• Facebook Connect: removes the 400 contacts limit and connectivity issues.

The new version also includes a couple of new tabs for getting the history of NimbuzzOut calls and Gtalk -> Gtalk (or) Nimbuzz -> Nimbuzz calls. Also you can get your tabs in a list sorta format by just hitting the back button on your screen. Overall the UI is much better. The biggest relief is the new Facebook Chat which removes the 400 contacts barrier. All your friends are now visible to you. The NimbuzzOut dialing keypad is significantly bigger (atleast in my 5800) and the UI looks refreshing.


Facebook Connect:

Well if you wanna get Facebook Chat back up and running on Nimbuzz 3.0 you need to go to accounts and then reconnect your Facebook Chat account. It then opens your browser and brings a confirmation dialog box for allowing Nimbuzz to access your Facebook profile at any time, any day blah blah blah.. And then voila! All your contacts are visible. The 400 friend barrier is removed and also in the contacts list where you see your various contacts you get your Facebook friends' statuses as well! Nice addition I'd say.

Nimbuzz also claims that it has fixed over 300 bugs and issues in this version of Nimbuzz. One of the best free messaging and social networking app.
