Nimbuzz 1.72
Nimbuzz released version 1.72 of their multi-protocol IM client for Java phones a couple of days ago. Unlike 1.7,which didn’t install on iDEN phones, I had no problems running this latest version on my i776.
There are no new features in 1.72, just the always worthwhile bug fixes and performance improvements.
Supported networks are the same as in version 1.6, Windows Live Messenger, Skype, Yahoo, Facebook Chat, Google Talk, AIM, MySpace, ICQ, Twitter, studiVZ, shuelerVZ, Gadu-Gadu and Hyves. Update: Skype support as been removed at Skype’s request.
Startup time, always an issue with Nimbuzz on the low spec i776, does seem noticeably faster. Other than that I don’t see much difference. Off line Facebook friends are still listed in the buddy list as numbers instead of by name (their names do appear if they go online) and the OK button and the soft keys are still mapped incorrectly.
Because of the messed up key mappings you need to:
1. Use the green “Call” key as the “OK” key
2. Use the right soft key for the left soft key’s action
3. Use the menu key for the right soft key‘s action
4. Exception : When entering text in native pop up windows, the soft keys (labeled OK and Cancel) work as labeled.

in reguards to my previous post, i would also like to say this is the best multi-protocol im client yet. including papaya and the others. now if dennis can explain to me how to correct the mapping of the keys i’d be on cloud nine.
I’d tell you how to remap the keys if I knew :).
absolutely love this app! it was kinda a struggle to get it set-up but i figured it out on my i465 clutch. and it is 100+ times faster than email+im that boost offers. you can set-up a new account in the app it just takes some quick fingers to do it.
This is my interpretation of Nimbuzz for the i465:
1) Use Opera or Bolt to visit the nimbuzz homepage to create and account; the create version won’t work.
2) Facebook connect is utter useless.
3) Nimbuzz is not compatible with our camera.

This is in regards to my earlier post. I have an i465.
