LiveProfile for Nokia

LiveProfile, the instant messaging application to communicate with your friends propete no matter what kind of smartphone you have, is now available for Android, BlackBerry and iPhone. Many users have asked us if we can install on Nokia, so we are curious enough to investigate if they are working on a version for these phones, given the large number of people who own a Nokia.

In the FAQ and blog their official website says nothing about it, but I found this support forum, where users clamor for a Nokia version of the application. There are many topics where users perform the same question, but it caught my attention this topic where someone asked:

I’ve noticed that LiveProfile has not yet been released for Nokia smartphones, do you have plans to LiveProfile for a phone like the Nokia E72?

To which I replied an official representative

Just wanted to keep you all informed. We are in the process of development. It’s exciting for us and we know you are all ready! Please be patient and assure them that worth the wait! And I mean, LiveProfile for Symbian as well?!? That’s great!

And yes, it’s great to know that finally the Nokia and Symbian users will have a version of LiveProfile. Just have to wait a little longer.
