Hey guys, i literally went through all the pages in this forum and didnt find an answer so either it hasnt been asked or its not possible at all, but here goes. I can log on to my gmail account, butthere is a function, gchat, which i am not seeing. I tried it was IE and Opera and they both dont show it. Has anyone been able to use gchat with treo 800w or is it even possible? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Maybe I'm wrong but as far as I know Google does not have a stand alone IM app much less one for PPC and must be used in a browser. I just logged in to my Gmail using Skyfire and I was able to use chat there.

fring.com

You can chat on multiple platforms at once (AIM, gtalk, msn etc)

Correct, no stand-a-lone gchat app....

Fring works, but so does SkyFire (that's what I use)

I didn't think PalRingo worked with the 320x320 square screen all that well.

I use OctroTalk. It works pretty well.
