eBuddy 1.4
eBuddy has shut down. This app no longer works!!
eBuddy is another free instant messaging client similar to Nimbuzz. I like Nimbuzz but some users prefer eBuddy and I’ve gotten requests to add it to BoostApps so here it is.
eBuddy supports Yahoo, MSN, GTalk, AIM, ICQ, MySpace and Facebook. The “Lite” version of Nimbuzz that works on iDEN phones supports Yahoo, MSN, GTalk, AIM, ICQ, Skype, GaduGadu, Hyves and StudiVZ .
One thing that that eBuddy and Nimbuzz have in common is that the keys are mapped incorrectly on iDen phones, use these workarounds.
1. Press the green “Call” key for “OK” key’s action
2. Press the right soft key for the left soft key’s action
3. Press the menu key for the right soft key‘s action
4. Exception : When entering text in a pop up window the soft keys (labeled OK and Cancel) work as labeled.

i just got ebuddy and it says it needs a update
The current version (1.5) doesn’t work on iDEN phones. You should be able to skip the upgrade prompt and use 1,4 though.
I was able to install on the i465, but was unable to receive any messages through MSN and got an “unhandled exception” error anytime I tried to exit the app. Consistently loss internet connection also. I would not recommend.
on a i465 how do you snap to take a pictue dennis it dooesnt work
I don’t have that phone but according to the i465 Manual, after you press the camera button to start the camera you can take a picture by pressing OK or the soft key labeled “Capture”.
Ervis,
I’m not familiar with the phone, but if you go to http://m.nimbuzz.com with the phone’s browser you will be able to download the version that Nimbuzz recommends for it.
what version of ebuddy can i use for my phone Samsung SGH E250
