gera229 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-26-2011, 09:56 PM

I noticed there is a built in all in one instant messenger on the TP2 including AIM, windows live, and yahoo. Is it useful or should I better of download an app for instant messaging?

I mean does the built in store data on the phone over time and cause it to slow down or anything? Or does it cause it to slow down from usage?

Any knowledge, opinions, experience, memories from what others said?

I have a sprint touch pro 2 cdma.

It's UI is similar to Oz IM but it is a built in one. I hope it doesn't do anything to my phone over time.
Yeah I am new to the touch pro 2.

Why do you prefer palringo over it?
