Updated Unified IM clients

Anyone using a good unified IM client that includes FB chat? I have tried Nimbuzz, Fring and Yeigo and all of them have terribly unintuitive GUIs. I swear 90+% of WinMo developers must have no sense at all of design and functionality. ~2 years of Iphone/Android and they piss all over Winmo with 10+ yrs in the market....

Right now it seems like FacebookIM, the abandoned and somewhat buggy Beejive and the excellent Skype for VOIP are the best solutions. Seems like a unified tool should be able to do at least 2 of these 3 well.

Yes, numerous times, but it does not work for Alltel touch pros. Something about the network does not allow palringo to connect when the phone radio is on. It did work for me on 1 ROM for some reason, (I think Star 1.4)but hasnt on any other since. It is a known issue at Plaringo but nothing has been done to remedy it.

Anyone know why beejive left Winmo for dead?

beejive is clearly the best and most modern IM client ever created

Yeah beejive is fairly stable and unfortunately until some other developer steps up to the plate that's your only good option for the time being. And as you know its free...I have a Fuze which I using Palringo but as you stated my Alltel Touch can't connect so im forced to use Beejive.
