The OZ client that comes with the Pro is kinda wonky/crappy.

Every time you get a new message, it puts a big box in the middle of your screen asking if you want to view the message. GO AWAY, DAMNIT!

Anyways, the way OZ is SUPPOSED to work, is yes, it will wake your phone--from stand-by. Not totally powered-off, obviously.

In fact, you don't even have to run OZ for it to wake up on IM. OZ works with 'system' SMS messages, that your phone see and open up OZ and display the IMs.

Easily the most power-conserving IM program. You might want to see if there is an updated version of OZ for the Touch Pro.
