Been using it since last night, but have not tested everything yet.

Doesn't look like it allows chatting to skype contacts... Would of been nice if you could..

Taking forever to authorize?

It's amazing what the resources of MS can do; IMHO, this is just the beginning of their renewed entry into the smartphone market.

mmm looks cool....and you can upload a profile pic unlike whatsapp. None of my contacts are on groupme though. *sigh*

Like all im applications it's actual usefulness will depend on the size of the user network they develop.

No Symbian support....

So will this also start of as a lean app, which will become bloated quite shorty like skype?
