DANGER! Nokia promoting Unofficial Wazapp in stores (spells Name wrong)

Ok, this is a bit awkward; according to the following tweet the Nokia Store in UAE is using Wazapp (spelled wrong in the ad) to promote sales of the N9; claiming

"the wait is over go to Wazapp.im"

I have no problem with Nokia trying to push the N9 sales; however promoting an unofficial client that's not even available in the marketplace seems a bit "weird"; first off I doubt the whatsapp people are happy about their services being reverse coded to get access to the servers and what not, second Nokia has a VERY tight relationship with Whatsapp; first constantly promoting whatsapp over BBM with the "Drop the Pink Campaign"

Then preloading whatsapp on all S40 devices giving them cross platform chat out of the box, Personally I don't know the extent of their relation nor do I know if there have been other moves to promote Wazapp through official Nokia channels but I think this is some murky water to be treading in. 

Wazapp (Whastapp Client for Meego) Updated to Version 0.2.5

 

It's been less than two weeks since the release of the Unofficial whatsapp client "Wazzap" for meego devices after the developers of whatsapp completely blocked any chance of it coming to the platform; regardless of the number of signatures a petition gathered.

Go download it from: http://www.wazapp.im/

The changelog for the latest version includes:

• • sendPing doesn't fire if offline now

  • Fixed registration for people getting Login Failed or Account expired. Re-register is required for them after update.

  • Fixed possible segmentation fault when reconnecting (as so closing of wazapp sometimes while running in background)

  • Connecting to internet is now automatic if there are networks configured for auto connect, even in PSM. Otherwise the connection dialog will popup on every ping.

  • Now correctly handling login thread crash if connection lost during login process (resulting in forever connecting)

  • Emoji in contacts statuses

  • Enhanced conversations window, that deals with scroll issue (thanks to CepiPerez)

  • New indicator icons

  • Bigger Emoji (Thanks to @knobtviker and CepiPerez)

• Wazapp 0.2.4:
  
  Change log:

  • Added support for displaying received Emoji (Thanks to @knobtviker)

  • Fixed interpreting login failure as a connection error, resulting in reconnect loop then segmentation fault

  • Fixed crash during sync because of encoding issue (resulting in "No Contacts" after sync), thanks to enki71

  • Fixed notifications clicks for people not in contacts

  • Fixed connection crash when push name has non ASCII chars (resulting in "Connecting" forever)

  • Added Country picker in Registration instead of entering Country Code manually

    
    

Text+ Would be One of the Greatest apps for WP EVER- If it Actually Worked

 

Text+ is possibly one of the coolest apps EVER for WP; and a solution to one of the greatest problems that anyone outside the US/Canada faces- FREE TEXT MESSAGES! Of course this isn't the first app to offer such services- but it is the first one that can deliver SMSs (SMSi?) without the need for the 2nd party to have this application installed  (Provided they live in the US or Canada); if not you can still text them but that of course would require they install the app as well. Text+ even provides you with your own personal number so you can receive NORMAL (non-Text+) SMSi on (I got a Texas number...so that's perfect for anyone in the US who doesn't have a long distance unlimited texting plan to talk to me).

Text+ seems to be the answer to all my issues; since I've recently been relying on Gmail Beta text messages which is a real pain in the @$$ as well as the fact that you can only respond/Send through your PC which completely defeats the purpose; having an app that enables me to text peoples phone numbers without forcing them to load the same app and have it on is a godsend- and the reply number (that uses Push notifications to get them to you) is even cooler, I just wish it worked.

The issue is that every-time I load the app it crashes within 5 seconds, making it USELESS I still haven't been able to send a single message! It's frustrating to see an app with so much potential JUST out of my reach; developers of this awesome app PLEASE FIX IT! I beg of you!

If you want to try your luck with it here's the marketplace link-

If you do somehow get it to work please let me know how, and what you think of the app.

Whatsapp for Windows Phone Updated to V 1.9- Now supports Emoji and Media Sharing History

 

The title basically says it all- If you have a Nokia Lumia or a WP head on over to  the marketplace and update your whatsapp to V1.9 to get all the goodies of Emoji from smiling turds to farting elephants; as well as the added bonus of having the option to view all media shared with a contact from under "Contact Info"- All in all a pretty cool update but all it needs now is the option to sync your conversations online; or at least to save them as a text file. (I believe that option is available on Android and iPhone but not Symbian)

Full Changelog:

Improved support for Emoji

- Group mute features
- Share contacts
- Browse downloaded media in a conversation
- German and Russian localizations
- The usual bug fixes and performance improvements

-If you're not getting the latest Whatsapp update simply go to your marketplace- hit the "share" button then immediately go back to the main Whatsapp download page; hopefully you should have the option to update. 

Cheers.
