Point Taken buchanmilne, i'm trying to start a war, i too have google talk, skype and a few other IM apps currently running on my phone, but the point i'm trying to make is that everyone out there doesn't have a mobile as potent and versatile as the n900, for that we some commercial apps
You are asking for closed applications for a closed protocol on an open platform. Rather, recommend applications for an open protocol for your poor friends on closed platforms.
There are jabber clients for virtually every mobile platform, and every computing platform.

If i were them i would be trying me to get with the program.

you are not necesarry to convince your friends to add you on whatsapp because whatsapp automatically add your friends, from there phone numbers it detects if they have whatsapp, and today everyone has blackberry device have the whatsapp application coz they know that they can chat with iphone, android,blackberry, symbian friends

What matters to people is whether something works well and for chats a big part of it is what their friends are using. If ten of my friends are happily using whatsapp because all of their friends are using whatsapp you think I will be able to convince them to leave whatsapp cause it is closed source? I am having a hard enough time convincing just my wife to get whatsapp on her blackberry. She just is not interested because all her friends are on blackberry chat. Asking her to switch to msn (and all the spam) or anything else will be a lost cause before it even started.

hi people i sent an email to support@whatsapp.com, i told them to open source to our maemo 5, they answered that they are not thinking to open the source to our n900, they only opened for iphone,blackberry,android,symbian.
i try my best and hope somebody can port this application without having the open source from them

I also tried this three times, there not very helpfull. And i can understand it, Maemo is that small, why put a lot of work in something with little efforts.
