that is my 2 cents after fighting many different clients and finding one that hasn't made me want to get rid of it yet.

I'll have to check that out.
I have also tried IM+, Agile and a couple others.
AGILE MESSENGER:
I find myself extremely disappointed with the applications I've tried so far.
When I had a Nokia 60 series phone, Agile messenger was great. The voice service worked,
and I had very few problems with it. However, on the Pocket PC, I'm not a fan of Agile messenger at all.
Very ugly interface, had many issues with the different features.
IM+:
I was hoping I'd like this application because there are many nice features and support for multiple clients.
However, again I found the interface very basic, and buggy.
SO WHAT AM I SPECIFICALLY LOOKING FOR?:
I have a large messenger list of contacts. I use AIM, Y!, MSN and GChat. In each messenger,
I have set up groups like friends, co-workers, family, etc. When I open an instant messenger client
on my Pocket PC, I want there to be only ONE instance of each group, showing all the ONLINE
contacts below that group from the different clients. So for example, if my mom is on Y!,
and my dad is on MSN, and my bro is on AIM, I'd only know the difference by the icon next to them,
they'd still be in the same "group".
Example:
Family-
"Y! Icon" mom (online)
"MSN Icon" dad (online)
"AIM Icon" brother (online)
Is this really too much to ask for...? Does anyone that works for these software companies
have any experience in designing user interfaces and testing it with beta testers and actually
USING the feedback from the beta testers (rather than using beta testing to just promote their upcoming product)?
I just want a good instant messenger experience with my Mogul.
It's text chat people - we should be beyond this now!
Just my 2 cents worth I guess.
