The *problem" with other channels is: their signal-to-noise ratio keeps decreasing to the point where they become unusable. I don't care about social interaction, photos of your cat, children, lunch, dog, grandchildren, and so on. I moved from ICQ to Skype to Fring to BBM to Hangouts, because all the people I care about can (and do) use them. Now I am trying out Allo, waiting for Google to pull the plug on Hangouts. I am not using whatever you think is "better". There is no "better", if all you want to do is send and receive information. I am not choosing a channel based on its entertainment potential, we have TV for that.
If I have something important to say, I will find a way. If not, I don't care about your funny pictures.
I don't mind paying a couple of pennies if necessary, if I want my message delivered. I don't care if your messaging system is cool, is new, is free... If you think your message is not worth 15 cents, then don't send it.
I was thinking the same thing.
I think it's because OpenDingux already runs on MIPS hardware. It's easier to port.
On the other hand, I wouldn't call the specs "impressive", at least not for the price.

It's that simple.

Nokia Situations. (I had it on my 5800, and it worked very well)
...of course!
