I was going to get JiveTalk but just wanted a final consensus on which one people think is more reliable. Please tell me your experiences. Thanks!

agreed. a 3rd vote for mundu (also free from handango)

Posted by: kagekouen

Anyone got a link to this free copy on Handango?

Posted by: trjons

I have mundu but don't really use it. I like Octro which is still free in beta testing.

Posted by: siliconvalley78

Using both Mundu (free from Handango) and IM+, since it's still in beta.

If you are talking for a windows mobile device I used Palringo recently when I had a windows mobile device and I actually liked it quite a bit. It looked a bit more polished than some of the other chat apps out there and also it seems to have and excellent connect, great battery saving feature. It was also free, check it out, its just palringo.com.

I don't work or own the company or anything, I just had good luck, have friends that use it and want to pass along a decent app

Posted by: Gmedalion

Where are you guys getting Mundu for free? Couldn't find it on Handango.

Posted by: Gmedalion

NewBe question, I just went ahead and purchased Mundu IM, 11 bux. How do I install it? I have the Tilt and have the Active Sync in placed. Do I drop the file into "Files?" I then can see the .CAB file but can't do anything with it. Can someone give me a step by step? Thanks

Posted by: MSanad

I, too, would like to know how to get mundu for free...

Posted by: siliconvalley78

Getting it for free was part of a promotion from Handango. Every Friday they give away one free software title.
As for installing it, you're supposed to run the CAB file on your device, and that will install it to the phone.

Did anyone ever get AIM to connect in Mundu? I thought I saw someone got an updated file that fixed it, but I have no idea if I'm imagining it.

Posted by: siliconvalley78

Yeah, that was me. And yes, it did work with the updated file.

Is it a file you could share? I got it free through Handango as well, but it's worthless without AIM. I emailed them, but who knows when I'll get an answer.

For those of you using Mundu, have you been able to chat with people chatting from their phones using AIM? I have a friend with a Centro, with a built-in AIM client (which I presume uses MMS, but don't know for sure). When I chat with him, he can see my messages fine, but all I get from him is an empty message (no actual text). I can chat with him on his phone from my desktop, and he can chat with another friend while both are on their phones, and I can receive messages properly from him if he's on a desktop. The breakdown seems to be specfic to mundu FROM a mobile device. They've sent me an alternate cab to use so I can send logs back to them, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Just curious if I'm the only one who has seen this issue.

You can just download the latest version directly from Mundu, then use the activation code sent to you by Handango.

I'll have to look into that tonight.

Posted by: CocheseUGA

OK, I downloaded the newest version of Mundu, and I think it might actually be worse.

It still won't authenticate with AIM, and it has option checkboxes in the login screen that are blank.

I'm glad I didn't pay anything for this, because that's about what it's worth.

I'm purchasing Fizz and Facade this week, so I guess I'll just have to do without until I purchase IM+ or Agile.

Posted by: dscline

Hmm, well I have no problems connecting to AIM, I just can't receive txt from mobile users. I can send to them, and I can receive from others if they are on a PC.

Posted by: CocheseUGA

Got an email from them, it's as if they didn't even read it.

Guess this is going in the Recycle Bin.

Posted by: Gmedalion

from what I have read, is it better to go back to my orginal JiveTalk? I have some people running it and seems to be fine.

Posted by: CocheseUGA

I really wish HoFo allowed you to edit posts.

I'd love to see a comprehensive look at all the available IM programs, both data and SMS.

If someone can point me to the trials of them, I'll be the guinea pig. I can't afford to buy one, much less all of them.

Look here, particularly at this chart.

Posted by: CocheseUGA

Yeah, I've seen both of those. The chart is friggin huge though.

I may just do a write-up on AC or something.

Posted by: LuvrGirl

Is this an IM prog that works with more than one provider? I'm looking for something similar to Trillian for PC, it connects to Yahoo IM, AIM, and MSN all together at the same time. This way I don't have to be logging in separately for each one, it just saves my info and logs me in to all 3 when I load Trillian.

Anything like this for a WM6 phone?

Posted by: causticfix

my experience....i use IM+ & it works near flawlessly. clean simple interface, no connection issues. i hear agile is as good, & maybe better in that you can send files/pics thru it...anyone using agile, is that true?

i also use prelude messenger for msn only (it only does irc & msn or id use it for everything). its free & very good, albeit unfinished. some russian developer made it & then disappeared, but he made a very cool useable program. i guess he only got irc & msn working with it but was adding more, as ive seen some info about a pay version he was planning. its the only IM app ive seen where you can see who youre talking to type just like the pc msn, & it has a homescreen plugin.

Posted by: Gmedalion

Figured out that Jivetalk doesn't have a WM6 version yet.

What's a good IM to use for the 8525? and when I have a phone call, will I still be signed in on the messaging client?

IM+ is great.
And if you're on 3G then it won't sign you off.
If you're not though Edge can't do data/voice at the same time like 3G can, so you will be signed off.

Posted by: laquita

Hmm..so..how will I know if I'm on 3g or Edge? LoL

That really should not matter. I myself use VeriChat on all of my Windows Mobile phones. I believe it was originally designed for the version of windows mobile before wm5 but it works flawlessly with my wm5 and wm6 phones. Unfortunately its not longer available but I love it since it uses data instead of texts.

If you are using a windows mobile phone, at the top it will have a E for Edge or a U/H/3G for when you are using 3g. It may very depending on what phone you are using. Take for example the Treo 750, when using Edge, it only displays a G for GPRS but if you are in an edge area, its really running on edge not gprs.

Posted by: OutPhase

I use a Dash/S620, and I like OctroTalk on it. Mundu feels sluggish on it, but I'll hold onto it from Free App Friday for when I get a Touch Cruise

Posted by: Andru1313

installed Mundu and I have to say I really really liked it... Mundu FTW

Posted by: Gmedalion

I installed Mundu on my Tilt and don't like the fact that the messages are getting cut off when the conversation gets long. Is anyone else having that problem?

Posted by: Andru1313

I haven't had a message long enough to see that issue will keep you posted...

Are your menus blank too, except for checkboxes?

I sent an email to Tech Support about it. AIM finally signed in, but all the windows (and the version screen) are screwy.

Posted by: Gmedalion

No all that is fine, I just am having issues of seeing the last message once the IM gets too long

Posted by: techiegirl

I had to stop using Mundu because it doesn't vibrate. I even emailed support about it. Hopefully the next version will have vibrate capabilities.

What are you using now?

Posted by: techiegirl

I'm using Agile. It's the best for me, personally....and believe me. I've tried them all. With webmessenger and IM+, I don't always see all of my Yahoo contacts. Maybe I have too many Yahoo contacts. I'm not sure. Mundu & Palringo doesn't vibrate. Octro..I don't know. I just couldn't get the hang of it.

Posted by: laquita

Hmm...could someone post a link so I could download program files for the messaging of YAHOO and AIM for the 8525 plz? Thanks

I am using Mundu on my Tilt. Its decent, but you can't really use any other programs while Mundu is running. May be its just my phone, but Mundu slows it down so that I cannot use anything else.

Posted by: techiegirl

I just tried Mundu (again). My Tilt was real warm and the battery went from 100% to 64% in 2 hours. In the past, I would go from 100% to 75% in 10 hours.

Had to quit the program again.

Posted by: CocheseUGA

OK, got the menus to show up by not running Facade.

I would like program to open when someone comes online, or to not make a noise ONLY when they come online.

I'll keep using it because it's free. I will test out other ones, though. Agile was far and away the best, but for the price it should be.

Mundu keeps an active data connection open. Try streaming music or browsing for two hours and I would expect you would see a similar result.

Posted by: Gmedalion

I've been using Mundu now for the past couple days and I hate it. Eats up battery life like no other, can't see the messages if they get 2 long, and you can't run other apps while it's running.

Which other IM system should I use?

Posted by: GldRush98

Oh, one thing to note about IM+ and 3G.
It sucks down the battery INSANELY fast.
I had a full charge, unplugged at 7 a.m. By 1:00 p.m. I got the 20% warning beep.
Never had that kind of drain on Edge. I was shocked... kind of sucks

Posted by: laquita

Mudu, IM+, WebMessenger, Agile?? WHich of those is the best to use.
Phone I have: AT&T 8525
I want to be able to send and receive messages without a problem, stay signed on when I receive a incoming call. Which one doesn't use up as much battery and which will give me a vibrating notification when someone IM's me?

Posted by: techiegirl

WebMessenger
Agile
IM+

In that order. Webmessenger has the best battery life. But considering webmessenger is the only one on your list that's on a subscription basis, I would not suggest webmessenger. Personally, I prefer Agile or IM+ and switch back and forth regularly.

Cool, thanks. So which one isn't a lot of money. I know some of them are subscriptions and one was a one time fee

Octrotalk. www.octrotalk.com

Posted by: Gmedalion

Agile or Octrotalk, does that suck up battery as well?

How is Octrotalk on the Tilt?

Posted by: rzanology

palringo guys....palringo! everone seems to be over looking it. you'z really need to check it out!

Posted by: scubatromp

Palringo works well but I don't like how there is not Today screen plugin. It puts an icon in the botom task bar which just takes up unnecessary space and there's no way to visibly show availability status on the Today screen. The push-to-talk feature is nice but it only works with other Palringo users of which there aren't many yet.

Octro works great on the Tilt. No real battery drain here.
