ROTTERDAM, Netherlands, October 7, 2010 - Following its explosive growth after adding Arabic language support on
BlackBerry(R) and Symbian devices in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA),
Nimbuzz, the new-generation mobile service providing free and low-cost calls,
chat, messaging and more, announced today that it has added Arabic support
for Java devices. The Arabic version will first be available for Nokia phones
and other phones will follow in Q4 2010.

For the first time, millions of Java handset users in MENA can download
and join Nimbuzz for free to talk, chat, message, connect and socialize in
their native language with friends, family and colleagues on Nimbuzz.

Nimbuzz already supports Arabic on Symbian, BlackBerry and PC/Mac
clients, which comprise a base of close to seven million Nimbuzz users in the
region and make it the most popular and widely used centralized messaging app
in MENA, and growing. With Arabic support on Java, all Nimbuzz users can more
easily chat, text and IM with a Nimbuzz Java user without character
inconsistencies.

With this announcement, Nimbuzz reinforces its commitment to delivering
mass-market relevance and accessibility for mobile communications in all key
and emerging markets. Nimbuzz Java client accounts for approximately 30
percent of Nimbuzz's registered user base worldwide.

In the MENA region, Nimbuzz's dramatic growth rate in the past 18 months
is attributed to Arabic support for Nimbuzz's multi-award winning Symbian
client. This growth includes more than 45,000 new user registrations per day
in Saudi Arabia on Symbian devices only. Other countries in the area, such as
Egypt, Syria and Libya, are also signing up with Nimbuzz with more than
20,000 registrations per week.

"The MENA market is a well-known Nokia stronghold, but there are also
large numbers of S40 Java devices in use," said Nimbuzz CEO, Evert-JaapLugt.
"We experienced tremendous growth in the region as we added Arabic to
Symbian. By adding Arabic support to Java, we expect to see a similar rise
for Nimbuzz while providing added value for Java users seeking next
generation communications."
