best AIM client

axeae · #1 (**permalink**) 10-04-2009, 05:30 PM

I've tried the official client, and absolutely hated it (too laggy), and I'm not such a fan of Palringo or Nimbuzz. Is there a decent AIM (I don't need any other protocols, but if the client is good that's fine) client for Windows Mobile? I'm using Slick now, and I like the interface and responsiveness, but it's too buggy for me.

I use IM+, it's not as smooth as I want at this point, but it's reliable and very nice

I use beejive its free, its fast, its great! Just install the cab run the program and let me know what you think!

Actually, I couldn't get Beejive to run, it kept giving me an error, something about lacking the libraries to display the actual alert, but I wasn't able to sign onto any AIM screennames.

hmm thats strange... i used this cab sent it to my cousin and buddy (we have sprint tp2) and we all use it over the standard included im client... Sorry Its not working for you buddy.

Try uninstalling the one you have... soft reset then install my cab. I dont see why it wouldn't work for you.

I use Sprint's Messnenger App which seems to work fine for me. It has intergrated AIM and Yahoo and works well.

I tried using this, and I'm getting error 920---user does not exist.

I got Beejive working, thanks. I wish it had a better system though for tabs during conversations. It only shows chat bubbles rather than the screen names. Is there any way to change that?

hmmm im not sure i haven't tried to change it... the only complaint i have is that it doesnt notify you when a buddy sings in/out other than that its perfect! 100% better than the original im client on the phone (in my opinion) i think its the best you can get for free.

My one complaint about the tabs wasn't really a big deal. I actually like that it doesn't notify when people sign in and out, since I plan on leaving it on all of the time.
