Overall Review

Nimbuzz is a nice light weight chatting application which lets you add Facebook and gtalk friends and chat with them. It is an easy to use application with some cool features like video calling, phone calling on low rates. However you need to buy credits in dollar or Euro, and with soaring currency rates, one would not like to go with that. One big drawback for me is the number of ads that it shows that too on chat window, which is very annoying and there is no way to stop it. Try out Nimbuzz from here and let us know your reviews.
