because i like bulleted lists:

• beejive is permanent beta and will never be supported, therefore problems-a-plenty
• IM+ is too damned expensive
• the official aim app is laggy as hell...
• OZ IM is alright but i hate its lack of notification options. the pop-up notification will unlock your phone
• octrotalk is showing its age, hardcore
• i haven't used nimbuzz in awhile, remember not liking it for some reason (lol)
• palringo's latest versions require a $5/year subscription for basic features such as buddy avatars and changing your font.
  • not expensive, but it's the principle
  • version 2.0 is before they implemented the change so it still includes these features. i have attached it for you.
  • this is the program i use
