@youmeego you definatelly haven' set your phone right, i have push from facebook,gtallk and skype,just go setting and enable push.
I agree with most of the users here,whatsapp is not really that important,i could care less if gets made or not,there are so many better alternatives.
Most important thing: If whatsapp development team did not bother to make an app for us the means they give a ***** about theyr users. It's not just about us meego users keeping in touch with android,ios,symbian users,it's about all getting in touch which for me this a total disrespect for all users not just us meego. That what means to be cross platform,but aparently it is not! I for one I can really live without this app,i can use gtalk and send a picture or video throught e-mail if needed.
Though if taglal takes it's time to make it,then my respect for it's work.
