Nimbuzz released version 1.6 of their multi-protocol IM client for Java phones a couple of days ago.

Supported networks are the same as in version 1.5, Windows Live Messenger,  Skype, Yahoo, Facebook,  Google Talk, AIM, MySpace, ICQ, Twitter, studiVZ, shuelerVZ, Gadu-Gadu and Hyves.

It seems to start up a little faster than 1.5 and do a better job of staying connected to Facebook. Other than that I don't see much difference. Off line Facebook friends are still listed in the buddy list as numbers instead of by name and  the OK button and the soft keys are still mapped incorrectly.

Because of the messed up key mappings you need to:

1. Use the green "Call" key as the "OK" key
2. Use the right soft key for the left soft key's action
3. Use the menu key for the  right soft key's action
4. Exception : When entering text in native pop up windows,  the soft keys (labeled OK and Cancel) work as labeled.
