Please, don't use it. If this doesn't convince you, read more here.
The worst thing is even if you don't use it, it takes one ***** who does and has your number in his/her contacts and your number is uploaded to servers of this insane company for 'anyone interested' to read.
Thumbs up for everyone supporting WhatsApp on Maemo. NOT
Can you update the link please?
WhatsApp offers 'good' services to their customers especially on Android. They do read applications, custom rom's on devices and send some notifications about it to their end users.
You can use WhatsApp without any problems. Just don't send any sensitive private data trough it.
You cannot avoid others to obtain your private phone number unless you've no social media app installed and less then 5 contacts stored on your cellphone. Some firewalls can protect your private phone-number against unwanted calls and text messages.
I think Yappari, Whatsup are good to use and Mitakuuluu is also okidoki.
One nice thing about sfdroid is the availability to create a separated WhatsApp account on the same device and get it switched on and off anytime you want.
