WhatsApp Client - WazApp 0.2.7 - Enhanced User Interface - Nokia N9 - MeeGo Harmattan

Much awaited WhatsApp community release client Wazapp for Nokia N9 is now available as public beta for testing. File sharing / emotions support will be added in future release. A big thanks to the developer: Tarek Galal. It will download some dependencies of around 16MB for the first time you'll install it on your Nokia N9.

Some FAQ:

What is this dot that appears when a message is sent?

Red dot is message not sent yet. Yellow is sent and delivered to server, and Green is delivered to your friend

How long do I have to wait if registration fails?

Registration failure error has a number like "fail-too-recent::X", X is the number of minutes you have to wait before trying again.

Will I still receive notifications when I close it?

-If you close wazapp by swipe down or from tasks window, it will remain running in background and you will receive notifications normally. If you close wazapp using the "Quit" button, it will totally exit and you won't be notified about new messages

Does it support media sending (images,sounds, location ..etc)?

-Not yet. If someone sends you media it will not show up on wazapp, and the sender will not receive a "delivered" receipt from you.

Does it support group conversations?

-It supports group conversations partially. If you already belonged to a group, you will be able to send and receive messages on it. But you cannot create a group. Oh and you won't be able to identify the message sender in a group as well :P

Does it create an internet connection by itself?

-It uses the current internet connection and does not issue a new one automatically. If you disconnect, reconnect, Wazapp will restore its connection automatically.

Does it support emoji?

-No. And if someone sends you an emoji (smiley face), it would appear most probably as boxes. You might have seen similar behavior if you used Whatsapp on Symbian before it supported emoji

How does whatsapp fee and account expiry work on wazapp?

-Currently if your account expired you won't be notified. Wazapp will not be able to connect without giving a reason.

Can I choose or change my password?

-No

How do I edit pushname ?

-From accounts settings in accounts manager

So here is a list of missing (and upcoming) whatsapp features:

Fully functional group conversations
Sending and receiving Media
Sending emoji
Blocking/unblocking

Known issues with this version:

Splash screen is not swipable
Auto registration code handling doesn't always work
Notifications won't go away until you click it
Chat item text max length is according to screen orientation where it was initially calculated
Received duplicate messages are not discarded
Chat bubbles don't scroll correctly on virtual keyboard open/close

If you get any recurring problems, like red dots not changing, contacts not syncing, initializing screen opens and closes immediately with nothing happening afterwards, please Quit wazapp via the Quit button, then run in terminal as a normal non-root user the following:
