you are correct... one of the worst designed things I have seen! It is terrible.. I'm sorry I ever said anything. This thread needs to be destroyed before someone finds this program and uses it!

There is no AIM app that does it all, they all have their failings.

Palringo is my favorite out of the 4 that I have tried. It works flawlessly, it's easy to use, does not drop connection (unless I want it to), and best of all FREE.

he wat about octrotalk, that aint bad and it has a tday plugin also

I have tried mulitple instant messengers and still have yet to find one I like that works. I really liked palringo for the ten minutes it worked but now it doesn't work at all. im sure im not the only one with an alltel htc 6800 having problems with palringo, it seems to be a common thing. slick sucks and is cheesey looking. I like im+ but its not free so I guess I need to find something else. just my two cents

also I removed palringo and now everytime I reboot an error pops up saying it can not locate palringo. how do I get this to stop as it is very annoying?and yes I soft reset after I removed it.. help

just downloaded palringo and i'm loving it so far.

The Hybrid Sprint/Nextel PTT phones use the iDEN network for the PTT. We can't do that on our phones cause they aren't iDEN.

There's still one file to delete and it's located in:

\windows\startup\

Delete the palingo file from there, and you're all-set on your next reboot.

:)

iDEN is over, Q-Chat is the next PTT for Sprint.
Unfortunately, they are re-using the "Direct Connect" name - this will add to the confusion among regular consumers.
