From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nimbuzz is a MoIP (mobile VoIP) application compatible with virtually all mobile phones with Internet connectivity. Windows Mobile is not currently supported, but Nimbuzz are working towards a solution which they say should be available by February 2008[1] . Nimbuzz was founded early 2006 by Evert Jaap Lugt and Martin Smink[2] . It received investment from Mangrove Capital Partners SA Luxembourg, the original investors of Skype, as well as Holtzbrinck Ventures, and the MIH Group. Nimbuzz is headquartered in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and has offices in São Paulo, Brazil and Córdoba, Argentina[3].
