Nimbuzz

Nimbuzz just released their official native BlackBerry app.

I case you don't know what Nimbuzz is, it is a free multi-IM client that includes a LOT of different services, such as AIM, Yahoo!, MSN/Live, GoogleTalk, Skype Chat, and others.

The new version is supposed to work with OS systems all the way through 5.0. If you are looking for a free IM client, It might be worth checking out.

I have 600+ people in my contact list and that seemed to overload the app. Hopefully others will have better luck with it!

I just saw this today in one of my Viigo RSS feeds. I downloaded it and am just signing in to everything right now. Running OS 5.0 so we'll see how it goes. I like the fact that its free!

Okay, so I just had to be a little patient with it. With 600+ buddies, it took a while for the app to populate and build its file. Once it had finished that, it started to move around smoother.

I definitely like that they have added in native notifications, so there is a notice up in the top banner, along with the notification * on the icon. I also like that they finally moved the text input to the bottom of the screen (previous java version had to go to a second screen to reply to people).

I think the only thing I don't like about it (same with Palringo) is that it doesn't sort into groups. In BeeJive, I have groups for school friends, friends, family.... In Nimbuzz, everybody is in one long list, either alphabetically or by service.I think that is a minor complaint for a free app that includes so many services.

Yes, it doesn't have my lists from Facebook, but hey...it's free.

I am kinda bummed it wouldn't let me log into more than one AOL account at a time like instango lets me do. I deleted the app for now but I might try it again sometime in case I was doing something wrong.

it did this for me for the first few minutes then it spent a few minutes thinking about each user and everyone came up with names next to their pics.

Ugh I have no data, hence no access to appworld. Any other options/hosts?
