It looks to have a nice feature set that includes a large list of supported platforms, and just about every IM service currently being offered on this planet. :wink: It's a free download, so check it out and let us know what you think.

Doesn't look like 3.0 is available for Smartphones, at least not yet.

Cool

I'm going to try this on my wireless PPC device - I'm glad that finally there is an IM "consolidator" applicaiton - I was getting sick and tired of all those seperate apps for each IM that I want to load. I wish they would do this for the desktop too... Anyone know of one of these for the desktop?

I've been using the earlier version for some time now....works great!
What's with the Nokia Screenshots?

:( I was hoping no one would notice. :wink: The screenshots on their website are all nokia based. They do have a Windows Mobile Smartphone version on the downloads page.

Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc/) - I haven't used it in a couple years because all my contacts are now on MSNM, but if you need one, this is a good product.

Actually, just the first few, then they show UIQ, then finally Smartphone. Here's a good one:

Thumbs up for Trillian. All the extra plugins in the pro version (pay version) are pretty cool.

One bad thing is that if anyone want to video chat...I need to move to the real app...but otherwise, highly recommended.

:oops: Opps, Guess I just didn't stick it out long enough.

This is probably the wrong post for this, but I downloaded v 3 for Nokia 6600 and it did not work. It installed fine, but when I click Connect nothing happens.
Shame on me for having a Symbian phone, I know, but I am a closet smartphone i guess. Just waiting for the right product at the right price.

Not quite, that's Agile Messenger v2, which has been out for some time. ;) I'm hoping a Pocket PC and Smartphone version come out...

Oh my. I'm really off the ball today. You are correct. Me bad. :twak:

The screenshot on the first post isn't necessarily a 'Nokia' screenshot since it could be from any number of phones, from the SendoX through to Siemens and Panasonic.

Sorry, just thought I'd add that ;-)

Alright, well I installed version 2 (couldn't wait any longer) and I'm not all that impressed with it. There is no "My Text" feature, no easy way to input a emoticon, it doesn't run in the background, the password field was not long enough - I had to login to hotmail and shorten my password :evil: , and T9 is not the default input method. These are just a few of the things that I noticed over the last couple days.

For the price, I guess this is no big deal, but I certainly hope these issues have been addressed in version 3.
