Well, I've been using both, Octro seems to freeze my 6700 every now and then, very annoying.. Sure Octro has more IM featuers than Palringo.. But Palringo seems to be much more reliable, it connects everytime and it doesn't cause lockups, etc... I couldn't use Octra at all last night, would not connect, and when it did it kept telling me my password was wrong, this morning, working fine.. go figure...
Anyway, I'm going to be sticking with Palringo simply for the lockup issue, but to be honest, I like the IM features of Octro better
