It is easy to used interact with proprietary instant messaging networks such as ICQ, Yahoo, .NET Messenger Service or AIM through the use of “transports” (requires server-side support).”

Hi guys, i tried fring for my e61 IM and it’s simple. I used nimbuzz before but it’s quite complicated. Fring is my top of the list IM.

There’s an open source mobile jabber client called bombus:

i was just passing by and… have you guys tried Fring? it’s a multiprotocol voip client and supports ICQ and Jabber chat and some other services too. the reason i’m not using it is when it’s on, all native sounds (calls, sms) are for some reason muted. maybe it’s just my old e61 software version problem.

Nimbuzz doesn’t mach my needs, I need icq client and it’s j2me app, so it eat a lof RAM, it’s kind strange to use j2me apps on the Symbian phone.

IM+ is buggy and not really intuitive interface, ver 5.6 has a lot of bugs. I’ll pay $2 a month for Agile becuase he has less problems with encoding and much nicer and just made for people to use.

I really like Agile as it displays a notification scrolling bar but I would rather pay a 1 time fee of USD$30 for IM+.

However, on IM+, you cant select notification sound file but you can transfer files/attachments.

On Agile, you can’t transfer files/attachment but you can send voice notes over.

Both apps use a small memory footprint which is good for multi-tasking.
I think i might just buy IM+, though i still really love the UI of Agile…

How?…
