They probably stopped developing it shortly after Nokia dropped support for Maemo 5.

Doesn't the N900 already offer all the functionality that Nimbuzz would bring already?

nimbuzz was far more power efficient than the protocol soup implemented by the current N900 solutions because it could enable a single heartbeat connection between the Nimbuzz server and it's client. now with the new Notification API in Qt it's possible to build something similar in an generic way, a bit like the iPhone solution, but ours is better i think.
in fact, the people from nimbuzz have replaced the main network flow already already by the Notifications API, in a technology PoC, together with the guys from Forum Nokia, in a few hours time. So there is certainly lots of interest from them.
if they would build an Qt application, using this new API, then they could roll out now already and be perfectly prepared for Meego.

they could do it now ... if they really want it. it might be they're just following along with the Meego development and guessing if and when Meego is going to be a commercial success.
Somewhere during this process they'll hopefully see the light. They were already investigating/writing a native N900 version but it got canned, looking at the bad support the N900 was getting. Also the less than stellar sales figures and the step4outof5 thing... Maybe also Nokia helped them a bit, remember Instinctiv
Nimbuzz already had a native symbian application, so no pressure there.
Heck, if they made a Qt version now, it could also be used on every Linux desktop ... as well as on the recent symbian models. great unifier.... 3 OS families in one go ! but bleeding edge
