IM client that's good on battery life??

Okay, so I'm coming back to Windows Mobile from Blackberry, but the one problem I'm having is finding an IM program that doesn't kill the battery! I really like Palringo, but my battery goes down fast with that running...

I used JiveTalk (BeeJive) for BlackBerry and that was REALLY kick a$$!! Anyone try it for WinMo?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: IM client that's good on battery life??

i haven't yet gotten my smartphone device (should come monday) but yesterday i read-up and downloaded some software for it. it seems a lot of people use Octro i guess. I've been a life-long windows mobile phone user, and have never been able to find an IM program that reliably stays connected and doens't kill the battery. the best i ever had it was on my treo 650 with verichat. It stayed connected all the time and didn't interfere with anything (when it wasn't causing the phone to reboot several times a day, hehe)
