Which IM do you use? Let people know why you think its great

Hello everyone,
I made this post to hopefully help people with Instant Messenger and finding a great one for their use.
I have used Agile, IM+ and I am now using Verichat which used to be a palm aplication but has now been converted for pocket pc use.
It his by far superior to IM+ and Agile in fontionality I think
Imov I really dont like the interface.
So yes I think Verichat is the best for Pocket PC use.
The only problem is that it's not free!
Which one is your favorite and why ?

I am using IM+ and am very happy with it; it supports MSN, Yahoo!, AIM, ICQ, Google and Jabber. I haven't used all the background modes, but for chatting, it works great; easy to manage the various windows; and can view contacts by group (integrated across services). I haven't tried Agile, though I used Verichat on the Palm before -- My understanding is that Verichat connects to a Verichat service rather than directly to the IM services. I quickly removed the T-Mobile OZ client from my device ;-)
Would like to hear the pros and cons of Agile vs. IM+ for comparison, if someone has used both.

Do you find these forums usefull? I am not going to go software nazi on you (its how I earn a living), but discussing cracks etc on here could well get the forums shut down. Not really worth it, keep it to yourself.

How is wishing publicly for someone to develop a crack (in a sense advertising for one) not discussing cracks? If you want to disregard the facts and post contradictory messages, keep it to yourself.

In a sense you should quit advertising your ignorance. Keep it to yourself.
P.S. Having MSCE as part of your name is laughable.

Whatever gives you a laugh I guess, a good ole' personal attack is always the best route to go whenever you are faced with ugly facts. Good message boards can be ruined by crack requests. Developers no longer wish to lend their talents to the boards, board admins can get in trouble (Depending on where the server is located), Web Hosts / Co-Lo's can butt in, etc... Anyway, this thread has gotten off topic way too much, so this will be my last post in this one. Flame me if you want, but I'm not listening

It wasn't a personal attack. I was just stating popular opinion.

Umm, back to the topic. I like agile, but it has issues with my Wizard. It doesn't work well in landscape mode and it locks up my phone frequently. I like the fact that all my buddies on the different services show up on 1 buddy list.
I tried Verichat trial the other day, but it didn't display my side of the IM. That is unacceptable.
I also used OZ messenger for T-Mobile. It has a neat interface, but it uses SMS to send and receive.
I haven't tested IM+ yet.

OK guys yes bakc on topic. I removed the line that bothered all of you.
Any other suggestions ?
Thank you

I don't understand this ??? I see my side of the IM after I hit <enter>. It's displayed in red. There is a short delay before it appears tho...

Yeah, I think that is an issue with your verichat install. Mine works fine. I had IM+, but liked verichat a bit more for some reason. Seemed a bit more polished to me.
Plus, I like having access to the Verichat Bots to get info if Edge/GPRS isn't working.

which of these let u click a phone number or webpage to view like on the sidekick

ok, let me re-download and install. I tried their WM5 trial download.

ok i guess no1 wants 2 answer a ? for me ive used agile and really hated getting knocked off-line all the time by the way does any1 know of a program to let me recieve an im and click the link that was sent to view

The funny thing is that by quoting him you have kept his original message up on this thread, where as now although he has edited it, you are now the one putting the forum in jeopardy... please edit out your quotes of the post that insulted you sooo much.

MCSE is the WIN! :roll:

bringing this thread back on topic
Agile Messenger for WM5 has been released in build alpha....

download and install and report your bugs!
oh and btw....IM+ sucks! it's no better than AgileMessenger......and the reason why it sucks is because it costs $40!! I mean c'mon 40$ to IM...that's just wrong! Max I'm willing to pay for a PPC app for IM'ng is 9.99 and it better be worth it damn it! (and the 9.99 better be a one-time fee....sure if they upgrade from version 2 to version 6 I don't mind paying an upgrade fee of 4.99....but yeah....that's where i stop)

Post your Latitude and BUZZ info! [HERE]

I'm looking at doing a stress test on the Nexus one with latitude and to help promote BUZZ even more in the development world. I simply have always wanted to add as many people as I could and I figured they're are others out there so with all that said, if you're ballsy enough post up your email for latitude.
If you would like to add me mine is dahui9_at_gmail_dot_com.
(for the sake of bots I have edited my emails layout) Let's see what you have boys and girls and "I am not responsible for anyone" that post anything or follows me.

i have not looked much into buzz, care to give me a reader's digest run down on what exactly it is? all that i really know is that its some form of social networking integrated with google maps?

All in all it is a break down of whats going on around you. say you're at a resturant and you really enjoy it and want to get the word out. BUZZ about it, and when you do you can take a picture to show people where it is and it geotags the location. its as simple as that! Its up to the community to report what's going on and what they think about certain subjects.
Example..
I went to the mall today and it was really busy
"02/23/2010 tThe mall was really busy today stand clear unless you specifically need to come"
It then geotags the location you are at.
-Charlie

sounds cool but i still think some people may have insecurities about their anonymousness, ie dont like people knowing where they actually are in the world... most people like hiding behind their device or computer screen

You could always hide your location to the person who invites you.

I agree with you but this is an open invatation for all those who see no risk in showing where they are. You can always turn sharing off thats the best part about latitude.
Example again.
My Girlfriend, to lazy to turn gps on so I can actually find her when she is lost in the middle of nowhere.
2 requests so far and both accepted (Don't forget to BUZZ about locations you find)
see you all tomorrow I need some sleep...

ahh long night last night, I thought I would check and see where we are at. It would be fun to get this news worthy haha.
I just added the both of you to mine I'm just waiting for response
-Charlie

I've been Buzzing off and on a little since it started. There are only a few others around me that do it too, all of them on Iphones, found ONE guy on a nexus. I don't have any friends with Android, so no one on my latitude list. I'm considering doing this...

Got your invite. cool.

Will there ever be sence UI on our n1?

Do you think there will ever be a theme or a ROM with sence UI like the one that is on the hd2, While the N1 is an impressive piece of hardware, im not to crazy about the UI and would love to have sence 2.5 running.

* Mod EDIT *
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636048
Enjoy.

As i said the sence that is on the hd2, not the android sence and im well aware that we have the desire rom.

you don't realize this is ANDROID on the N1, the HD2 had WINDOWS MOBILE 6.5 ?
the hd2 sense/touchflo 3d system was built for windows, and therefore not on android.

my thoughts exactly and winmo is a dead platform a port of that rom to the nexus one,if possible, would be a large step backwards.

Im sure someone could make a theme or build a rom that has the hd2 sense, all i was asking was do you think someone will.

no..no one ever will lol..htc made a sense ui for android that allows for user customization. The sense HTC made for windows mobile is a UI to cover up the plain UI windows mobile has.

All the guy did was ask for a yes or no answer and he gets a smart ass remark from about 5 people. This is what i hate about xda, someone is always ready to bash on someone for anything.

Sense UI for WinMo is WM version, current Sense for Android is far perfect also.

The only reason I thought it was a joke was because at first I thought he was referring to getting plain Sense on Android, not the Sense available on the HD2. Even though, the reason people usually flame here is because most people know what is to be known, and most know that you cannot (well you can, I think, well its possible, I think lol) port Windows Mobile over to Android.. therefore making most people THINK this is a rather stupid question.
Also, the closest to a theme would be the Desire ROM I would think.. guess you could tweak it a little tad more.

Yes you are right i should search google. I searched all the forums and did not find anything, so i thought well if its not here on XDA then its most likely not on google.

Forum rules, please read!
There seems to be a significant amount of animosity of late in the forums. I'm not certain as to why this is, nor do I want to hear any reason for justification; what I do know is that it is unacceptable.
XDA is about bringing together folks who have similar passions about mobile technology. As the forum is accessed worldwide, you will encounter all types of folks from different walks of life; some of these folks will be extremely technical, others not. In all cases, it is the responsibility of all members to remain respectful of one another. We all have different opinions, we do not all have the same level of knowledge, and some folks are looking to feel like they are learning while trying to contribute.
Show maturity and professionalism by responding with helpful and constructive information. There is absolutely no reason to respond in a rude tone or to make someone feel stupid ... it is not constructive and serves no purpose.
I would remind members that the best moderation is self-moderation.
Forum rules, please read!

Two moderators have had to come to this thread and clean it up. As it would appear that my last warning was somehow not clearly understood, I'm going to try it again.
If you have nothing helpful to offer, please do not post. Anyone else who feels like posting in this thread for the sake of trolling will likely find themselves with a holiday from XDA.

I do not miss the Sense UI, I can live with beautiful widgets, calendar, messenger; but I DO miss Exchange cal sync with native calendar application a lot!! I was really used to have all my calendars at one place (incl google cals, exchange cal) on my Hero, and THIS is the feature I miss most on my N1... Any chance to improvents (exchange cal sync?) with Android in the future?

Theres tons of ways to get exchange cal support on n1 rom. Most are paid apps but google has a free app.

Sure.. except -as in my case- if the company policy does not allow Google Calendar Sync to install, and if you want to merge your exchange calendar and gmail calendar into one calendar on your phone -as Sense UI on the Hero did. I don't want to use a separate program to make a separate calendar on my phone -just to see all my calendars at one place.. and except Sense UI I could not find anything offering this functionality.

Wierd icon next to 3G icon

Hi guys,
There is an arrow icon to the left of my 3G icon, and I was wondering if anyone knew what it was? it shows two white arrows forming a loop but I can't find it in the manual.
Can someone let me know?
Thanks!

That's the sync service running (GMail, Contacts, Calendar, etc).
If it keeps running forever, you might have an issue, but it should pop up from time to time.

It was running forever and I realized it was failing to synch, a data reset fixed.

Oh my god dude you are getting on my nerves. If you don't like the thread don't look in it. I'm not an android noob, I've been using since vzw got android in the first place, Ive used chrome and gmail since beta, my whole life is in Google's cloud. Damn. Not noticing a small icon doesn't make me a noob. People like you are the exact reason I never posted here before and only lurked and donated. What an amazing bit you are contributing to the community, good thing I'm not judging the whole on you.
Go ahead and do a search for what I was asking, I couldn't find anything. If you read I also consulted the manual to find nothing relating to the symbol. Go to hell.

Exactly, I had assumed it would use normal data signal for that. Plus I hadn't really seen it before because normally its on and then off, but in this case mine got stuck, thats all. Thanks guys.

I wonder if it would violate guidelines to report a post like that.
Completely unhelpful, and ultimately detrimental to the community as a whole.
Sure there's no profanity, warez, or otherwise problematic material, but it's definitely something that shouldn't be here.

I think everyone should post this video on AT&T's Facebook page once or twice. It's obvious they don't like seeing it, and having anything Hitler/Nazi related on a page branded with the companies logo is bad news bears.
I think inundating them with repeated posts of this video would be easy to do, send a message...and fun!

I still watch this just for a laugh. Little solace, but it helps.
