i don't really fancy this app to be honest.

very sleek and innovative design and concept, yes

but because i use it very often, messages sometimes fail to load inside the app itself.

meaning, i know that there is an incoming message from whatsapp because of the push capability.

however, upon entering the app, the message simply fail to load (happened a couple of times already)

as a result of that, i'm switching between ping and this one intermittently

No idea on that but then again I'm using it only in Wifi spots here except when I'm in Malaysia. So far it's great since I bought 2 phones for me and my gf and occasionally chatted up with my colleagues. Can't gauge it pretty well unless I communicated alot with it.

i'm hardly home (except to catch some winks) and hence i rely heavily on the carrier network.

in another word, i'm perpetually online.

furthermore, i kinda like ping, because the incoming message tone "ping ping!" is very loud, distinctive and ability to diffract well.

actually to be honest, you guys may or may not, know that whatsapp has an inbuilt stalking mechanism.i'm always curious to learn if a gal is deliberately trying to avoid me

you can always find out with ease, if a person has read your message and decides not to reply your whatsapp message because the app logs on, a user's last online time (ping or its nearest competitors do not possess such a feature)

Hi there,

I've been using Whatsapp for few months now and it's absolutely great. For all the unsure and newbies - check out their official website and Facebook fan page and all your questions will be answered. Best part is they keep updating new features every now and then, its very useful and unique. Your contact list will slowly grow. Be patient hehe

Anyways, back to my real question, a friend of mine who uses Whatsapp in Malaysia has gone to Europe for a 2 week holiday. Using a iPhone 3GS with roaming enabled on Maxis. Question is: would it be cheaper to turn on data roaming to send Whatsapp back to Malaysia (unsure what the data usage is going to cost though) OR; to just send an sms which cost around RM1 for each sms sent from Europe.

Any experienced advise is appreciated. Thanks

call maxis and they can give you (almost) a fixed price for data per MB, for that said country.

Hello,

Do you feel your batt drained faster after installed this app?
*
obviously not.

the app runs on the iPhone's push capabilities.

they are meant to conserve power.

Why I can't install whatsapp into my iPod? Is it because it's not compatible anymore?
*
not sure about the iPod touch.

but AFAIK whatsapp will not work on the iPad (tried it before)

which makes a little sense since there is no mobile number attached to the iPad.

why don't use the MSN to chat? what is the advantage over the whatssap and msn?
*
a person has to be signed in to able to receive messages over the MSN.

whatsapp doesn't reqiure such prerequisite and hence it mimics the conventional text messaging system.
