Hi tgalal, great that you're online and thanks for making wazapp for the N9. Quick question about the notifications, will they come up even if the app itself is closed?

Thanks

If you close the app it remains running in background. So when you receive a new message a notification appears, which when clicked re-shows the app.

The original Icon is not very logical.

Why the original?

Legal issues.

You make some valid points, especially the legal issue is something I also thought about after I finished the icon. Because of that I created an alternative icon (long ago), where i flipped the bubble (not because of the logical reading direction, I'm not that comic reading guy), fully filled the form and inversed and also enlarged the telephone glyph.

About the peak of the bubble: Yeah, it's to close to the edge, but if you shift the bubble more to the right it's no longer centered and that would look weird (though it's already not completely centered but it's hard to notice).

The reason why I didn't (and won't) create a complete redesigned icon is because I'm acutally not a designer, I just composed some elements which were alread there because I happen to know how to use Illustrator and have some basic design knowledge.

So if tgalal cares about the icon this would be my altered version:

@tgalal

I wanted to sum up on the "thank you" stream on this very nice *development* thread.

As you will probably we aware of, mostly every N9 user will download your app on May 1st. I have been always very curious on how many N9's are out there (I am sure I am not the only one), and this information is hard to get from Nokia, so...

..so my question is: are you planning to count downloads? It would be very nice to see that number published on this forum.

Thank you very much for your work, it is really appreciated.
Āl.

Yeah I will be counting, so I'd appreciate if downloads are to be made only from the website (wazapp.im) when I put the link up :)

Hehe I hope the website won't be completely down that day because of too many simultaneous downloads ;)

Thank you for your work!
