The ones that don't have it installed can install it (just like they can install Whatsapp). My N900 has a nice list in conversations of all my contacts that are online.
I still don't get it. Why pay for and use a closed application when there's a very good and open alternative availible? Don't let this vendor lock you (and your friends) in!

Google talk comes default with all android phones and with newer blackberries. So the market is huuuge.
And the fun part is that it supports video and voice calling too.

But if you haven't learnt anything about the bad things of the closed iPhone and the good things about open standards, keep hoping that they release an app so that they can lock you in. I moved on and see the endless opportunities of open systems.

With whatsapp, you do not need to be connected to 3G data connection all the time.
It basically sends an sms to your mobile number when new message is received.
Then you connect to the whatsapp sever via 3G data to retrieve the mesage.
With gtalk, you need to be logged in or you won't get the message.
So to me, it's not really a push.

and i dont think.. we can create PUSH into our n900.. we can connect and disconnect our connections.. so what is PUSH then ?
Push is something that you cant turn off.. like the blackberry messenger.

I think what we need is more like confirming the delivery of a message.
I use google talk and many times when the connection cuts for a couple of seconds and I'm supposed to receive a message I don't receive it or send a message it doesn't send it.

Gtalk also dont uses the 'notification' led.

"no one is using whatsapp here?"
Uhm under wich stone did u sleep the last 10 years?
tell me how many ppl does have a ugly blackberry here ? or an iphone ?? do you think that i can change the hype here by telling them to use Gtalk ??
The only thing what they have to do is add eachother and ét voila.. so you think that they want to make an gmail account first and install it on their phone en add me..
1 word -> "succes"
