As you can see the font is a bit distorted, anyway to fix this?

Got a question...do any of these messengers actually WAKE your phone for a new IM? I use OZ Instant Messenger that comes with Sprint and it only gives me the new IM's if the phone is actually awake...kinda sucks to have to keep turning the phone on to see if new messages have come in...

The OZ client that comes with the Pro is kinda wonky/crappy.

Every time you get a new message, it puts a big box in the middle of your screen asking if you want to view the message. GO AWAY, DAMNIT!

Anyways, the way OZ is SUPPOSED to work, is yes, it will wake your phone--from stand-by. Not totally powered-off, obviously.

In fact, you don't even have to run OZ for it to wake up on IM. OZ works with 'system' SMS messages, that your phone see and open up OZ and display the IMs.

Easily the most power-conserving IM program. You might want to see if there is an updated version of OZ for the Touch Pro.

Yeah i get the box in the middle of the screen when i receive a new message and OZ is open...but it won't wake my phone up from stand by? I've rooted around for a setting but i can't find anything that looks like it would make a difference. Thanks though!
