Beejive has released a test build of JiveTalk, an IM app Blackberry and iPhone users may be familiar with. I've been real pleased with the Blackberry version, it works better than any WM IM app I've used to date. The account list shows it to support AIM, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, Myspace IM and Yahoo. I use MSN and AIM and don't know or care about the rest, but they're listed so I'd guess they work. Check it out at www.beejive.com.

Wow, I've only been using it for a a few minutes but I am really impressed. It seems like the best client I have used by far.

Yeah, I'm pretty impressed too. I wrote to note the lack of a scrollbar on the contact list. They replied that it appears when you click on the right side of the list and the list is scrollable like the TouchFlo interface. And so it does...impressive. I'm most interested in seeing how it handles disconnects due to voice calls and the like and hoping it's as solid as it's Blackberry counterpart.

hi guys - i downladed the app and it works fine - EXCEPT... i can't type letters - it's as if the shift key is being held down - every time i type a letter -the symbol (if the shift button was actually held down) comes up. for example... if i type the letter Y - or attempt to type it - the number 1 pops up on the screen =/ - i unclicked everything and this wasn't the first time this happened. when i had im plus the same thing happened - the only way i could type was w/ my stylus - using the keypad icon which is VERY time consuming... please help someone!

If you're on a UTStarcom 6800, there is a known problem with the firmware on the device related to the hardware keyboard.

UTStarcom has a patch for this here -> http://utstar.com/pcd/downloads/XV68...x%201-9-08.zip

Hope this helps.
