really Malkavian, do you think that besides all the info over the internet and to which many of your contacts may be using with their mobile phones: bank access online (you may probably use), facebook accounts, on line access to social security info, instant messaging services, movil acess services online (provided by your company), twitter, instagram, etc... anyone will bother to get your whatsapp contacts list to spam them? I'm still amazed by your concerns with instant messaging, anyways, if you think a new messaging company will provide support to maemo, all I can say is: good luck!!
