Messenger Application that can run Yahoo! messenger

Are there any mobile messenger application that can run Yahoo messenger other than Agile or IM+... freewares? My agile trial expired and i dont have any credit card to buy the full version (even tho its not that expensive anyway)

try java applet from mig33.com or nimbuzz.com

Forgive my idiocy, but was Agile at some point "free"? And when did it become not free?

agile was free for ages, they called it a trial but it never expired.
noticed it wasnt about 6 months ago or so i guess they decided to start trying to charge people for it.
also try http://www.ebuddy.com/ which is a web based messenger app allows MSN and yahoo on most wap enabled mobiles.
i still prefer IM+ but thats not free.

Search For Slicks Im

I think this is a good program to try
EQO Mobile. It's a messaging app that lets you connect with aim, msn, gmail, and I think yahoo. It's free, and it looks pretty nice. Again, it's called "EQO"

I've been using palringo and it plugs into 6 IMs, including msn, yahoo, aim and google
nice interface too.
Also does voice and picture sending

IM+ is a good application as it has all the usual suspects including MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, etc etc, and it works on WM5, WM6 & WM6.1

Last time i checked palringo isn't freeware.

I was curious about a couple of the programs in this thread, so I started looking, but haven't installed yet. I was also wondering if palringo was free. I hit their faq website and found:
How Much Does Palringo Cost?
Palringo is free and will remain free for non commercial users.
Commercial users may be interested in the benefits of an Enterprise account. See here for more information.
Palringo connects through the internet so if you pay for data usage, such as on a mobile phone, check with your network operator for pricing information.

But it looks like you have to sign up on their website http://forum.palringo.com/faq.php?faq=gettingstarted#faq_gettingstarted_signup
I might have to try it to see how it goes.

I loaded palringo, and it does seem very cool. I like it better than slick. And it has some features that look really cool. Like, groups with group chat and voice messaging. Now I just need to get some buddies to load it up on their windows mobile and blackberry phones so we can give it a good workout.

Palringo FTW!!

Does it include Yahoo! Messenger? Also, does it take all your Yahoo! friends and add them to your phone's contacts? What does it include?
As you can tell, I tried 2.0 a while ago -- and it took me 3 days after uninstallation to get my phone back to the original state. LOL....

Just to let you know Version 3 is still in BETA.

Ok... Just spent an hour toying with it and uninstalled after it crashed multiple times while pulling up emails, and then later, traffic. Too bad, cuz it looks like Yahoo! is making gains on a service that Microsoft has dominated for a while now (Live and Live Search). To answer my earlier questions for anyone who's interested, no, it doesn't pull in all your friends into your phone's contacts... and it has everything it shows on the Yahoo! Go website -- which of course does NOT include messenger or GPS-aided maps/turn-by-turn directions.
I do see some nice improvements from v2.0 in the user interface -- real nice animated carousel for selecting which widget you want to use. If you have multiple Yahoo! accounts, though, you will have to uninstall and reinstall anytime you want to change IDs. That sucked. Also, as I stated before, the maps and directions function cannot utilize GPS. Email doesn't show HTML/pictures. And again, there is NO messenger built in (HUGE bummer -- I'll keep using free Slick Messenger).
So, for those who must use Yahoo! for whatever reason, this will be a nice step in the right direction. Otherwise, folks like myself will most likely continue using Microsoft Live and Live Search (gotta luv that speech recognition!)

Contact sync removed
It appears that Yahoo! Go 3 beta no longer includes a contact sync feature. That was one feature that came in handy with v2. Bummer.

I also found that you cannot log into for your existing flickr account. they make you create a new one.

IM applications?

I've been looking around using the search tool for good instant messaging apps. But all the threads I've found were old ones. I want something free and new that can make at least hotmail (windows live messenger) work on Wi Fi. Because the windows mobile messenger refuses to connect via wi fi.
I've heard Beejive IM is good but I want to know the alternatives.
Oh and I use a Touch Pro.

Have you tried Qip PDA? It's free and i like it

Did you tried BeejiveIM (Multimessenger)?
Currently beta so it's free. Works for me.

all the good IM clients with multiple protocols aren't free such as IM+ and mundu.if you want free and don't use memory,get unlimited text plan and set aim/yim to always show u on mobile while you arent logged on a client or pc

parlingo maybe

Push Notifications

Am seriously looking at buying a HD2.Does it do Push for email?Instant Messaging?Football scores would be nice (like iFooty on the iPhone)

It depends on the email service. I do know that you can set up an exchange server to do push, and it's native for windows live, so that's hotmail covered. I think you can do it with gmail too - best wait for someone to confirm that though.

Yes, hooking up gmail via MS Exchange give you push mail/calender/contacts

Blimey, you guys are quick .Thanks for the speedy response?
What about for things like Instant Messaging?On my iPhone I have IM+ .When somebody sends me a message on Facebook Chat /Windows Messenger/Twitter it is pushed to my phone?Anything similar on the HD2?
Anything like iFooty?
Whilst not a dealbreaker by any means, it would be nice to have.

I've not seen an IM app that handles facebook chat on WM, but that obviously doesn't mean there isn't one. There's a native facebook app, but I don't think it will notify you of messages, and there's a twitter tab on the UI which is mostly good. There's also native windows live that has messenger with it, which is almost as good as messenger on the PC.

I don't know who that is. Most of the popular iPhone apps have a similar thing available on WM. XDA is the best place to look, but google is just as good a friend when it comes to apps.

Palringo has facebook chat included and is free. You don't use push notifications because you just leave the application running in the background.

Yeah, sorry. I should have pointed that out myself. I forget that with the iPhone you could usually only have 1 app running at any time.

If you try Palringo - please could you let me know if it kills your battery? I think that's what my battery issues were down to.

IM+ by shape services supports facebook chat. Also has a nice feature where you can go off line, and receive messages via email.

Windows Live Messenger

Does anyone know of Windows Live Messenger being available to download / install from a third party?
3 Mobile have apparently bundled it with their Heros http://www.info-resource.org.uk/htc_hero_with_spotify_contract.html
Frank.

Ebuddy or fring, personally prefer ebuddy, fring has a crap ui
edit: though if anyone can upload the apk for the 3 client here, i would like to take a look if possible.

i think Nimbuzz is the best solution...best UI IMHO.

I wonder if it's the same IM app that T-Mobile has on some of their Android devices, which is actually a google-made program. It uses SMS instead of data, and AFAIK, no one's got it to work on a non-TMobile phone/network. (Although maybe 3 Mobile has!)
I personally like Hi MSN. It isn't the greatest program ever, but it gets the job done. I don't like using eBuddy/Palringo, because you have to create an ebuddy account, the attach your MSN account to it. Yeah yeah, it's useful if you use lots of IM clients, but I don't.

The TMo version can use data over WiFi, but reverts to SMS over cellular conntections for all protocols bar GTalk. It is a specifically code limitation in the application itself, because back in my G1 days there was a hacked version available that circumvented this and allowed IM over 3G/GPRS.
Personally, I use Meebo.

I agree, Nimbuzz is better than Ebuddy or Fring. And it also does Skype VOIP.

Nimbuzz is the best i've seen. it lets you talk to contacts from several IM protocols, current release includes:
Yahoo!
WML
Skype
Facebook
Google Talk
AIM
MySpace
StudiVZ
SchuelerVZ
Gadu Gadu
Hyves
Giovani
-edit-
It lists all contacts from all the protocols you selected at the same time, which is awesome.

Cheers for your input everyone. I've been using HiMSN, I'm going to give Nimbuzz a go from your recommendations.

nimbuzz seems to run in the background, but when i look for it in task manager, it doesnt show up

can someone please backup the 3 WLM client with AppManager and post it somewhere (rapidshare, mediafire etc)?

Ebuddy works great.
