So where is the Nokia-Exclusiv Whatsapp Version?

[Samir F]

Back in September 2012 Nokia talk about a Nokia Exclusiv Version of Whatsapp? So where is it? News about it?

i wrote to Nokia on many ways (Twitter, Chat etc.) but no Infos about it...

The question is why **** is WhatsApp exclusive to Nokia?

 

[Samir F]

it will be a "normal" Version and a Nokia Exclusiv of it... but both are not available

 

[Samir F]

by the way here is the official announcement from Nokia at the Nokia Wold 2012 (September)

Exclusive apps coming to Nokia Lumia – Nokia Conversations : the official Nokia blog

That's not the Nokia exclusive Whatsapp. That's just routine normal one which is gone as well for WP8.

How bad does it work? Is it even usable? How fast does it reopen when you get a message? Does it receive notifications on time?

I've had no issues whatsoever with Whatsapp, but I havnt used it on other platforms to compare.

It's OK. It's not as good as it's on Symbian. It is irregular like Android in notifications but that is due to Whatsapp server side issues. It has a resume screen which doesn't exist on any platform. It is surely usable. But if you use it VERY often, then that resume screen that screw your head real quick.

Its quite slow compared to the ios version but it still works

Well at least we know the updated whatsapp will be 6x faster even if its not Nokia exclusive.

It works fine for me. Like people said the notifications are a little wonky but it does the job.

According to a member over here the whatsapp team told him over email that it would roll out in about a month, which leaves about 3 weeks from now.

That is really long..

Well the lack of whatsapp has been holding me off from getting a 920 too. But then I realized that I could use SMS for local contacts. Whatsapp does NOT have read receipts and the delivered receipts are only useful because the server is wonky and messages can take some time reaching their destination sometimes. On the other hand with SMS you know that the service is solid so don't really need delivery receipts.
