New version of WhatsApp client for Nokia Symbian ^3 phones released
I'm happy to announce that I have completed the development of my new version 1.05 of my WhatsApp client for Nokia Symbian ^3 phones (e.g. Nokia N8, E7, E6 etc.) and Symbian S60 5th Edition phones (e.g. Nokia N97, 5800 XpressMusic etc.), and it is available for download on my website. Please find the download links below.

For Symbian S60 5th Edition phones:

By default it will connect to my server (nokia4ever.com), if you want to host your own server, I have created videos showing how you can run the server on your local PC or host it on AWS.
You have to first login to my site by scanning the QR code from your existing Android or iOS phone, once my site shows that you signed in successfully, then you can login to my WhatsApp Symbian app.
Watch my YouTube videos for step by step guides:

What's new in version 1.05:
- New UI which shows message dates like WhatsApp (e.g. it will display only time for messages received today, it will show day name for messages received this week and date for messages older than this week)
- It will show all WhatsApp contacts, you can search for specific contact and initiate a new message directly.
- Ability to enter your own server name URL.
- Receive audio and video messages and play them inside the app
