The symmetry behind the headline is slightly spoilt by the recent naming change of the main OS to just be 'Symbian', but the point remains: Nimbuzz, the popular IM and VoIP client, has now been released in version 3.0, fully optimised for Symbian(^3) and with significant interface improvements, but also available for all other Symbian-powered phones. You may remember that Skype has withdrawn access to Nimbuzz (and Fring and other apps of this kind), so there's no Skype messaging, but as you'll see from the video embedded below, there are still plenty of reasons to give Nimbuzz a try.

Added for Nimbuzz 3.0 are:

• Customizable tabs: select which tabs you want to see and in what order.
• NimbuzzOut call rates are displayed in real time below the number before placing the call.
• Recent calls tab: see all your received, missed and outgoing calls.
• 2 new chat styles: with avatars and without.
• 3 options to view the Contact List.
• Sort contacts by status.
• My info tab: gives you quick access to your profile, NimbuzzOut credits, accounts,  suggested friends and friend invites.
• Facebook Connect: removes the 400 contacts limit and connectivity issues.

Although available in time in the likes of the Ovi Store, to get Nimbuzz 3.0 you're best off simply going to www.nimbuzz.com/en/mobile/download or just m.nimbuzz.com on your handset.
