Nimbuzz has revealed that the native, preinstalled version of its Nimbuzz mobile social messenger application is available on the Toshiba TG01 handset, which launched with O2 Germany last month.
Accessed via a central icon on the home screen the app integrates seamlessly onto the handset. The three companies have worked closely together to deliver lifestyle communications features on the Toshiba TG01, enabling users to contact all their friends across multiple networks from one place. Local social networks such as StudiVZ, are incoporated in the client alongside all of the major global communities, such as Facebook, MySpace, Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, GoogleTalk and AIM.
Software enriches the value chain for the mobile ecosystem, says Nimbuzz CEO, Evert-Jaap Lugt. Users, who are looking for a device that fits their lifestyle, operators, looking for new ARPU magnets, and handset manufacturers looking for a value add to differentiate, all profit from Nimbuzzs mass market solution. Adding 900,000 new users a month, we welcome all O2 customers and TG01 users to Nimbuzz.
