Doesn't show in the task manager unless you have chats open. Memory usage is low just make sure you turn off the gps tracking function or it will drain the battery pretty bad. Give it a try, it's worth the 2 min to download and check out.

i tried palringo and i like it a lot but im having problems logging into my gmail or gtalk account on there it keeps sayn server error

I have been using Palringo since my TP. I use to have Beejive, and IM+ and am a registered owner of both. But I kept changing ROM so much that I got tired f registering it.

I find parlingo kinda eats up the batt a little fast. Any others? Beejive doesn't exactly work now with 6.5.

Palringo is one of the nicest but it is for sure a battery hog.

I use IM+. It's been very good for me. $40 though ...

Using palringo is really like having an embedded IM service.

Slick does not do notifications (maybe there is a setting for it didn't check) but it does put itself in the task bar when you have a new message.

As for UI..I admit it is not the "prettiest" but it works and its clean...first thing I do is change the color of it from purple to something else lol

But it is free..at least for now.

I don't recall the premium features in Palringo. Everything used to work fully. Now as of today.. or whatever the latest download is, things like showing avatars and changing fonts are now a premium feature. I don't know about your copy, but those things were always in the free version. I would always see someones avatar when I logged in to Yahoo. Now.... well.. you get the idea. I have been using Palringo since 2008, even on my Moto Q9M. As for IM+, I'm not gonna pay $40 bucks for an instant messaging application. For something that is typically free on a PC. And if I can find an app on WM that is free and works, I'll use it. Who cares about UI. Long as I can get to all the options and send/receive IM's. And also, be able to receive pending IM's when you log in.

wow unusual for an almost vip to be bumping threads. nimbuzz sucks it would drain my battery,always put me in 1x and mess up the on screen keyboard to where it only puts in the numbers and symbols instead of letters. i just use OzIM it has a very lite memory footprint, doesnt drain the battery and it easily organizes contacts by groups and service which is something the others dont do.
