the reason the 3rd party programs burn thru battery is because it is connected to you im program, so therefore its constantly connected to the internet. Being as you can't access the im's from opera or ie, the only other option is a 3rd party program, which will need internet access. Most 3rd party apps, if someone sends you an im while your offline and then you login, every app i run will always pop up that offline message. but correct if the app isn't open then of course you won't receive messages which is good because if its important then my text or phone will ring, but i don't want to be walking around 24/7 receiving stupid im's.

I found that Oz Messenger is the only one that doesn't require constant data connection. If you are out of service or have the program closed, the next time you start it up it'll give you all the messages that were sent during that period. You are also seen as online by your friends unless you manually sign out in the program. I prefer this as my friends can then IM me whenever for whatever reason as opposed to only being able to catch me whenever I happen to have my IM client open. Its mostly personal preference, and Oz Messenger is by no means perfect. That program is buggier than the rainforest

also 999 posts, early congrats on being a VIP

Yeah I fully agree, i use oz as well for this reason plus i also still have the option to log out. Oz could definitely be updated but fits the bill for now. what ive noticed is that none of them are perfect. thanks for the shoutout, post # 1000

Now only if i could figure out how to change my account status.

Fring works well for me. It's just another third party ap, but it does voip calls too.

google not developing for winmo is strategic. they'll do just enough to support winmo but nothing to encourge it.

I'm not. Google only seems to develop WinMo apps as an afterthought. They are more interested in developing for Android and iPhone.

Whoa you're right. Why isn't anyone talking about it? Or better yet extracted it. I wonder if its just OZ under that icon.


EDIT: I guess its just a java app that comes with T-Mobile phones
