An early beta version of XMS for Symbian and MeeGo from ‘eBuddy’ has finally arrived devices for Symbian devices.
A few weeks back eBuddy had announced that the XMS will be available in a beta version for Symbian and MeeGo devices very soon and today it has been made available to Symbian users.
Wondering as to what XMS is?
eBuddy XMS is a free, real-time messaging application for Smartphones. You can XMS unlimited text messages to anyone who’s also installed it to their Smartphone. eBuddy XMS uses your Smartphones Internet connection to share unlimited messages between you and anyone else on XMS for free.
Just like SMS, eBuddy XMS is based on your mobile phonebook – it automatically detects which contacts already installed eBuddy XMS. You can add friends in a snap:
- By adding a phone number to your phonebook
- Scanning your Facebook friends
- Inviting friends through e-mail
The current beta release is a basic messaging application that will allow you to:
- Find your address book and Facebook friends who also have eBuddy XMS installed;
- Exchange messages with XMS contacts;
- Receive notifications about incoming messages.
Picture, video sending and group messaging is not available at the moment; but the company is working on bringing these features in a new update.
There are still many bug fixes to arrive and that’ll happen in the final version.
