Jaiku Social Phonebook Now Available For S603rd Edition

I've been waiting for this announcement since last.  Jaiku, the social phonebook that I mentioned last year has finally released its application for S60 3rd edition!! 

Main features of Jaiku Mobile Beta:

• The live contact list works just like your phone’s built-in phonebook, and enhances the list with the buddy icons and real-time presence of your Jaiku contacts
• Post new Jaikus and have them immediately appear on the Web and your contacts’ phones
• Share your availability based on your phone’s ring profile
• Share your location based on free naming of cell towers
• Option to share your phone calendar (choose to share full titles of events or just when you are free/busy)
• Option to share number of nearby people based on detection of Bluetooth phones
• Switch Jaiku online or offline at any time
• Easy wizard guides you through the setup
• Automatic roaming detection alerts you when you are roaming away from your home network
• Improved battery life gives you more standby time (for best results we recommend switching your phone to 2G mode).

Very cool idea Darla, but from what I can tell only works by sending/recieving international texts ... which gets expensive! In order to update your presence, for example, you have to send an international text message. Very cool concept, but not until there's a US number will I use it.

Olly, if you have a S60 phone and Jaiku Mobile installed, you don't need to send international text messages. Jaiku Mobile uses a standard internet connection of your phone.

If you don't have a S60 phone, you can use text messaging or just our web interface. We are also going to bring US number for text message users in near-future.

Cheers, Teemu from Jaiku

Olly, did you install the mobile app? If you have the mobile app there is no need for international sms.
