Well, I walk disseminating ICQ here in Brazil and I have heard some opinions on ICQ 6.
Praise:
I would like to commend the packages, the new editor of status, the skins, emoticons and sounds. This is the real ability to customize the ICQ Blinking ;-)
(Users of ICQ Brazilians dislike of custom emoticons, those you subistitui letters for them, prefer the packages)
So you mean they don't like the standard emoticons? Or don't they like the baility to change them dynamically (so others see the customized ones, too)?
I would also praise the system of banners that do not occupy space, giving rise to functions.
Much of the Brazilian people already used ICQ and knows that he has great potential to compete with the WLM (Windows Live Messenger), which owns much of the market here.
They created
Compad for the Brazilians only, but I think the user interface is English, too...
I will show some errors that ICQ has committed during the version 6:
ICQ 6 must improve on the issue of Builds, one thing that happens is the ICQ become outdated with the progress of Builds, or some functions are incomplete or malfunction.
There are problems with compatibility with the Windows Firewall.
The site of the ICQ informed that some functions will be adjusted over time, but after all, this is the final version or the beta yet?
Actually... ICQ6 is still beta software...
The program must have a stability would work, but in a few years we will have more than 50 Builds different incompatible in office.
Or do everything at once or leave in Beta.
Other things ...
The system of VOIP and SMS are not available for Brazil.
As for most countries. VOIP is only available in Israel and SMS depends on a service providing content partner (there's none in Brazil).
No support and few updates in Portuguese.
(We must understand that in Brazil people do not know much English and many depend on my translation to get ICQ 6.)
I don't know what the ICQ staff thinks about the brazilian users, but it's great to have a translation. It the same in France. Nobody likes ICQ but ICQ is the only messenger which allows you to actively search for people to chat with. Every other messenger allows IM to known contacts only.
About ICQ.com and ICQmail
The site of ICQ is not in Portuguese. That atrapalha the popularity of the program also.
Few updates on the site
(The site is rarely updated ICQ and does not present functions to compete with the competition.)
Integration site-ICQ, but few people know they have a page on ICQ, and ICQ does not show that.
Putting functions of the AIM, since it tb has the same machine as ICQ, functions as receiving emails, AOL Video, AOL Radio, etc..
Improvements in the service of ICQmail.
Since AOL is in partnership with the Google search system, why not share improvements in services for email?
The ICQmail has only 6Mb, shameful near the other services of mail arriving at 3Gb and more than that in some providers.
Many complain, and others are sad because they can't register anymore as the registration system does no longer work properly. I think there'll be changes soon.
ICQ could count on partnerships that help in the organization and dissemination of ICQ in Brazil.
Only views are basic and complaints that I have heard here.
Sad that is.
Excuse the bad English
Don't worry.
They can count on me ... ;-)
Great.
