Nimbuzz offers HD quality calls for iPhone, iPod users

Nimbuzz, a Dutch company offering a mobile social networking application, has introduced a new system through which one can make HD quality calls from their iPhone, iPod or iPad.
The company has made it possible by a new peer to peer calling system, which doesn’t route the call through its servers, but makes a direct connection between the two mobile devices. The calls will therefore be connected faster, the calling quality will be clear, and the probability of dropped calls reduced.
Nimbuzz auto detects a suitable connection (3G or Wi-Fi) for HD calls, and then displays an HD indicator in the calling screen in real time.
Till now, HD quality calls are available only for iPhone and Android users, but the company has said that it is working on making it available on Symbian, PC and Mac as well.
The company has also added a ‘Go offline’ function, through which one can use Nimbuzz without appearing online/away/busy to your friends. It has also redesigned the contact list layout to improve usability.
Now a Nimbuzz user will see the presence icons (available, busy, away) on the right side and the community icons are placed over the display images of contacts, in the bottom left corner, which cleans up the interface.
Nimbuzz has 2.5 million users in India and globally about six million users log in on the App every day. The application comes embedded with mobile phones of 19 handset companies in India and Nimbuzz plans to associate itself with the remaining companies as well.
It is also planning to come up with a push notification service for Symbian and Java platforms by the end of this year.
