Nimbuzz 2.3.0.0
For Windows Phone owners one of the applications that can take care of all the above mentioned tasks and add a bit of extra features on the side is Nimbuzz.
Intuitive interface, easy to operate
Right off the bat you will surely notice the looks of this app that are not too flashy, in fact they lean more towards the dull side since they lack customizations like themes, backgrounds and other similar enhancements that are seen in other utilities that serve the same purpose.
Fortunately, moving through the various sections of the application is smooth and without glitches, while the messages appear promptly in the chat screen.
On the fly instant messaging with some special options
Nimbuzz prompts you to connect your Facebook and Google+ accounts in order for you to have at your fingertips all the contacts and start chatting with anyone on your personal list with a few taps.
Unfortunately for Google+ users, the integration with this service seems to be faulty and getting an account connected is difficult if at all possible. The Facebook bit on the other hand works very well and you can view all the online and offline people and pick the ones you want to exchange messages.
The app is also able to facilitate the transfer of pictures, video and audio clips that you record on the spot. A neat feature is the ability to forward the multimedia content to other contacts.
Voice calling, chat rooms and meeting strangers for a quick chat
With the help of Nimbuzz you will be able to place calls to your friends, even if they are abroad, but you have to pay attention to the rates as these calls are not free, they are only cheap.
There are several chat rooms awaiting for you to check them out in the dedicated area of he app and you can even create one of your own, make it private and let your friends know the password, so you can all talk to each other in the same time.
Another particular feature of this utility is the "Meet a stranger" option that will help you start a conversation with someone else looking to exchange a few words on Nimbuzz.

Intensive usage of this application will take a visible toll on the battery, as the power consumption is high at all times. |

The utility offers a decent the of features and for those who are willing to pay for some extras functions, the in-app purchases will help them do this easily. |
