No, and the answer is: Never.
The only way to use Whatsapp is to install NITDroid on your N900.
Do a simple search and you can find all the answers....

I heared about the NITDroid and I'm keen on installing it., But i didn't find any simple explanation to do it, if you know simple way to install it please tell me how ?
I'm afraid also of the extra devels that should be installed to be able to install the NITDroid on N900 cause i heared it causes many problems such as battery Drain and Memory loss..etc.
So please if you have any information about how to install NITDroid on N900 simply without problems tell me how..?!
Thanks

A search would easily find you this....

And thats another issue I had with it, the BME didnt always work so sometimes the led would flash rapid red and then it would turn off even with full battery.

Whatsapp is just a chat software, in a way. If your friends "pressure" you to use a certain software to belong to the pack, they suck. Why nobody switches to a (free) private IRC channel is beyond me.

I Can't Believe that they didn't release a version for such a great phone which is specialized in internet Apps !
