why so sad? you all knew this day was coming!
I don't like it either, it forces me to buy an new phone. Yes, whatsapp is just too easy wether I like it or not... Many alternatives but just peer-pressure

Since the wazzap guys don't have a problem it might be easy to solve though. Might be something about portnumbers since scorpius talked about that in this thread...Whatever it is, if het wazzap guys have still a working client it wouldn't be too hard to implement the small changes in the protocol.

However, one day whatsapp inc. will change the protocol to disallow all non-official clients and we need to reverse engineer the whole protocol again and that takes a lot of time. I guess it's time to bundle up with wazzap guy, and see if an easy fix is in reach.
