The new buddy list layout displays the avatar and presence information at the same time, as well as resource information (e.g. lets you know if your buddy is on the PC or mobile).

The time-sensitive user interface detects how long you hit a buddy’s name. With a light touch, you can open your profile, but a strong tap starts a new text conversation.

Home screen notifications let you know activities like incoming chats while Nimbuzz runs on the background.

Clickable URLs let you share YouTube videos, websites, and other links through the chat window. Simply click on the URL and a browser window will open, and you can simply switch back and forth to Nimbuzz.
