Can you please give us a date or a month so we can know! we are always waiting and tuned....

 

[IceCrush]

Yes please!

I have switched to Skype for temporary now.

Any particular reason why it is taking so long? Has Microsoft made WP 8 so inaccessible to developers? Is MS trying to attract users or trying to shoo them away? Except for the Office app and the camera in Lumia 920, I have already started regretting having bought Lumia 920 15 days back...

thank you for your reply. Could you please be slightly more specific about how much longer it will be. I got my whole extended family to get viber.. That's 30-40 people because i liked your service. Now when i switched to WP, Im the only one who doesn't have it. A bit embarrasing really.

Viber hasn't updated ever on schedule. Don't expect any update before summer 2013. Even if that Viber member comes back to say otherwise. Their PR has no idea about development and you can see that on numerous XDA threads.

How about they tell us if it'll come out in 2013? I don't think so. I hope Tango comes out for WP8 soon so i can just tell everyone to ditch Viber

Skype is looking much better choice compared to Tango or Viber to be honest. Plus, closer integration that it will get over next year or so, will only mean that chat, calls and file sharing will be seamless to say the least! Try Skype - it's in beta, so is buggy but not as limited in functions as Viber.

im not happy with viber, not at all! They say stay tuned and i want a date! Tango is fine and i hope it comes i dont care about viber anymore! im using skype and its great

 

[Sharpmango]

I thought id bump this back up. We definitely need a date. Is there some reason we cant have one?

 

[afgzee]

We have WeChat now which has HD video calls and voice calls. Viber took too long.

Microsoft can't even fix its own Skype app fast enough then how do you expect other apps fixing theirs.

 

[perspicatio]

I stopped waiting. Plenty of alternatives from people who take their app functionality and patient users a little more seriously. :amaze:

I just use text IM so WhatsApp has suited my needs perfectly (Live tile WORKS, has predictive text etc). Skype is a little more involved but good for voice/video.

And what about wp 7 ,when we'r getting an update of viber..there is lots of problem to resolve..
