Does it work similar to how people that use BBM but without the constraints of a BBM pin? I think you just need to get an account.
From what i have read that it cigars does use data to send out a message.

Maybe if we send them enough messages they might consider making on for the N900?
I tried my luck and sent them a message, still waiting for a response.

I think it would be a nifty app to have.

I believe the majority still use it, it is bugless application and very effective..

Apologies, I made a typo. The Beta version was for XMS, there was never a meego build of kik - which was disappointing seeing as it was written in qt and qml for s^3 ;/

Re: KIK messenger

I wonder if APKenv would work with this if it was "tweaked" a little.

Is there chance to be ported on n9 ???

I've used kik quite a bit. Regardless of it having a steady increase in the no. Of signups, it still probably wont have any of our friends on it. It's more of a 'know new ppl' rather than 'talk to your friends' app. A quick search '#kik' on Twitter would feed one with a never ending stream of kik names.

Kik has it's merits over whatsapp. Like BBM, it relies on usernames to identify & add people to the contact list. It's faster than whatsapp & offers sent, read & delivery notification. Kik is a good product, but it lags in user acquisition. Port To N9/Maemo wouldn't be much fruitful.

Port of the hyrbid BBM app or the WeChat app would prove more useful for us. Best part, wechat is a product or Tencent Tech, the largest IT company in China. It is one of the backers of the SailFish OS for Jolla. (I saw it's logo when the list of backers came out last year). We could probably assume that they'll make a native app for SailFish, a req for Maemo/MeeGo might get a reply. Shall we draft one?
