Whatsapp type application for N900?
 

http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/#32

is it possible for someone to make an app like this? also, im guessing its totally impossible for the developer to make a version that would work with other phones besides iPhones right? this is one thing I will regret not getting the iPhone for, because lots of my friends are overseas with iPhones and an app such as this if I had an iPhone would make contacting them so easy. : /

Use a normal instant messanger client for this like skype, gtalk or whatever is supported by the iphone as well. They are already perfectly integrated in the N900 ;)

Don't be fooled by that app. They're attempting to lock you into a locked in device. There are already plenty of free ways to contact iPhoners, mainly using IM protocols like MSN Live, Yahoo Messenger, AIM, Jabber/GTalk, and others. These are available on the iPhone, and free and included in the N900 out of the box. Don't let BB Messenger and Whatsapp suck you into long term bouts of wasting money. Go with what has worked all along.

You're right, although MSN seems to timeout as well, while Blackberry Messenger is always on. I only have a friend and my brother as contacts on BBM though but use it a lot.

the thing is, these BBM, Whatsapp or Ping also have Push msging so that people can msg you and you'll get it regardless of being online etc.

With things like MSN, if I can't get offline msgs, it'll be absolutely pointless, not to mention sending offline msgs isnt that popular anyways, since Mac users dont have that option.

Also, when everyone you know is sucked in, not being sucked in puts you at a disadvantage for communication, thats all im saying. I love the N900 to bits though but havent even seen screenshots of how the messengers look etc, besides the integrated conversation thing.

Does n900 have AIM messenger?

Re: whatsapp type application for N900
 

no but there are aim telepathy plugins.

Re: whatsapp type application for N900
 

Yes, there are aim telepathy plugins but actually they don't work for AIM.

Hello,

Are you considering developing Whatsapp on the Nokia N900 which runs the Maemo5 OS?

Thanks
