From a business perspective, I think there are reasons that make it totally understandable why they don't create an app for N9 themselves.
But I don't see why they would reject an offer where they would get an app more or less for free (unless there are political games going on I don't know of).

I guess from Whatsapp's point of view the business from Harmattan may not be worth the support services required. Porting their app is not the stumbling block. They may have limited resources to support too many platforms. Whatsapp has also refused to port to Bada.

By writing "more or less free" I was trying to indicate that, in case of a cooperation, both parties would have to give (and get) something.
E.g. the dev could benefit from being mentioned in the about of the app, getting easy access to all relevant information, access to testing and marketing resources, legally using trademarks, logos etc., more confidence that the app won´t be blocked one day...you name it, it just a matter of how the deal is negotiated...

Anyway, as in this case both parties seem to be not interested in a cooperation, this discussion is pointless here ;-)
And, if we get Whatsapp in the end, I do not care how

Please keep up your great work here, tgalal!

Guys please take the conversational talk to another thread. These posts keep getting in the way of keep trying to keep up to speed with dev work.

Anyway TGALAL if you need a hand with creating a quick GUI for this give me a shout. My QML skills have improved recently.

Sorry but I'm just curious if the function of media sharing (ie. sending photos & videos) would be inclusive for this project.

Well this is not priority for the first release, but it will eventually be added.

What I need help in is how to use the Accounts manager. I've been searching for quite sometime and I think there is not a single helpful documentation out there on how to write an accounts plugin! Anyone familiar with those stuff?
