I like it “All-in-one award-winning app adds “social” to the Mobile Chatting phone” I think its quite good for Nimbuzz to create buzz in its target market, I suggest Nimbuzz and other VoIPs like Vopium, Jajah and Truphone that they should try to go for Nokia and Blackberry as well. So the more people get a chance to avail VoIP services with cheapest calling rates.
