Whatsapp is a very popular messaging service that was recently acquired by Facebook. It lets you post status updates, images, videos and your location all of which are instantly shared with your friends.
Unfortunately for Java phone users, Whatsapp is primarily a smartphone app with versions for Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Symbian. There is a Java version but it only supports the following Nokia S40 and Asha Phones:
Nokia C3-00, Nokia C3-01, Nokia X2-01, Nokia X3-02, Nokia X2-00
Nokia Asha: 201, 205 Chat Edition, 206 Single Sim, 208, 210, 300, 301, 302, 303, 305, 306, 308, 309, 310, 311, 515, 500, 501, 502, 503, 230.

Nokia Asha: 201, 205 Chat Edition, 206 Single Sim, 208, 210, 300, 301, 302, 303, 305, 306, 308, 309, 310, 311, 515, 500, 501, 502, 503, 230.
Whatsapp reportedly works on at least a few other Nokia S40 and Asha phones. But if you don’t have one of the supported phones, the Whatsapp site and the Nokia Store won’t even let you download it. Even if you do manage to download it you will get an “unsupported device” error when you try to run it.
Fortunately there’s a workaround for that. Unfortunately Nokia and Whatsapp didn’t make it easy. To install Whatsapp on a non supported device:
1) The process is easiest if you have a PC and a USB cable for your phone. If you do, download the jad and jar files listed below to your PC and copy them to the Apps & Games folder on your phone’s memory card. Then skip to step 6 below.
2) If you don’t have a PC, open this page with the UC Browser on your phone and tap or click the jad file link below and choose “Save”. Change the download path to E:/Apps&Games and hit “OK” and then “Save” to download the file. Do the same for the jar file.
3) Next, open the Games&Apps folder on your phone and choose Memory Card. then choose Apps&games and you should see whatsapp_jad and whatsapp_jar.
4) On touchscreen phones,press and hold whatsapp_jad until a menu appears and then choose “Rename” and change the name to whatsapp.jad (replace the “_” with “.”). Then rename whatsapp_jar as whatsapp.jar
5) On non-touchscreen phones, highlight whatsapp_jad and press “Options” and choose “Rename” and rename it as whatsapp.jad. Then rename whatsapp_jar as whatsapp.jar
6) Open the Apps&Games folder on the phone and tap the memory card folder and then the Apps&Games folder. Press and hold or highlight the Whatsapp icon and choose options and then “Update version”. If it tells you that you already have the latest version and asks if you want to replace it, choose ” Yes”. After the update finishes tap the Instagram icon again toinstall it.
You can try installing Whatsapp on non-Nokia phones but it’s unlikely to work.

WhatsApp is a messaging application available to download for free to certain Nokia phones, as well as other major smartphone platforms. Whatsapp revolutionized messaging applications by sending instant messages, pictures, video, and audio messages over an internet connection, rather than relying on the user’s data plan, which has saved WhatsApp users a lot of money in data overage fees. Its simple design and user friendly features have made it the most widely used messaging app globally. Perhaps the best feature of all is that there is no limit to how many messages can be sent, and no limit to where they can be sent. For people who have family members, friends or business partners in other countries, this is huge; WhatsApp allows users to send unlimited international messages for free, just like domestic messages.
WhatsApp is primarily supported by smartphone platforms like Android, iPhone and Blackberry. Nokia users really lucked out when WhatsApp developed support for older Nokia S40 and S60 models that are not smartphones. If you have a Nokia S40 or Nokia S60 phone, you can download WhatsApp for free and use it just like smartphone users can, but your installation process will be slightly different from that of a smartphone.

How to Download WhatsApp for Nokia
Once you’ve confirmed that your device meets all requirements, Nokia S40 users: use the web browser on your Nokia phone to go to www.whatsapp.com/s40/ . Nokia S60 users: go to www.whatsapp.com/nokia/ using your phone’s web browser. You will be able to download WhatsApp for free directly to your phone from this page. Then follow any prompts or instructions on your Nokia phone to install and setup your WhatsApp account. WhatsApp will automatically search your phone’s contact list and add any WhatsApp users to your WhatsApp contacts list, and you can add contacts manually whenever you want. Now your Nokia WhatsApp download is complete, and you can start sending unlimited messages, pictures and videos to your contacts for free for the first year (after that, just $0.99 per year for the same unlimited services).
WhatsApp for Nokia and PC
One of the cool new developments from WhatsApp is the ability to use the application on your home computer or laptop, and sync all of your messages between both devices. This new WhatsApp Web is supported for Nokia S60 and Nokia S40 Single SIM EVO, as well as other smartphone platforms (excluding iOS, at the moment).
If you would like to download WhatsApp to your PC and sync it to your new WhatsApp account on your Nokia, you can do this in just a few easy steps. First, use your computer to visit https://web.whatsapp.com, where you should see a QR code. We’re going to scan the code from your Nokia phone by accessing the WhatsApp menu and selecting “WhatsApp Web” (Nokia S60 users, tap “menu”; Nokia S40 users, swipe up from the bottom of the WhatsApp screen to open the menu). This will open the QR scanner. Just point your Nokia’s camera at the code on the computer screen to scan the code, and your computer will begin to download WhatsApp Web automatically and synchronize with your mobile version.
