Nokia works on its own messaging app
The Finns at Nokia don't just strive to create high-quality mobile terminals. His intention to fill them with useful, powerful and capable content to carry out all kinds of actions with them has also become clear. Maybe a little late, they are also working on their own messaging system Something they have called Nokia Chat and that seeks to connect Nokia mobile users in an exclusive way
Nokia Chat is a project that has been running for a couple of years now. In fact, it is still under development, being able to be found in beta phase or testing both in the Nokia laboratory as in the app store of Windows Phone A messaging service that is quite different from others like WhatsAppor LINE, but with its own unique features and highlights.
To start using Nokia Chat Beta just download it and create a user account through a new email related to this company, and a password A simple, guided process that takes no more than a couple of minutes. After that, access to the application itself is given.Similar to WhatsApp, it has an extremely simple design in which there are only two screens: one dedicated to listing contacts and another that includes the conversations that have already started with them.
Fairly more different is the way to add new contacts. And it is that these are not collected directly from the agenda of the terminal, but must be add one by one by means of your email or all at once if said information is saved in the phonebook. At this point it must be said that, despite being an exclusive application for Nokia terminals, it is also possible to add users withaccounts Yahoo Once this is done, it is possible to see the listed contacts and select any of them to start a conversation.
At the moment only one to one conversations are supported However it has some interesting functions. Thus, in addition to exchanging free instant messages, the Nokia Chat Beta user is also able to send their current location or places of interest detected with Here Maps It also allows sending songs or parts of them having direct access to Nokia MixRadio to listen to them in full.
This messaging service also has functionality NFC that allows you to start sharing content and messages between users who put their terminals together, sendvoice messages or share the user's current location under their name. All this accompanied by push notifications and alerts on the lock screen to be aware of possible unread messages received and tiles or live tiles
In short, a messaging application that still has a long way to go if it wants to attract attention. And it is that the issue of exclusivity is no longer something welcome as it happened in the best times of BlackBerry Messenger A project that will have to wait to see if it comes to fruition port but, for now, it is possible to try just downloading it through Windows Phone Store totally free
