the beejive one looks more like the SMS app than that one.

i read about it on gizmodo or engadget, cant remember which. but they said it wasn't nearly as good as jivetalk and you cant even scroll up to see old messages (atleast thats what the review said). im sticking with jivetalk until the trillian astra for iPhone is out.

you have to use two fingers to scroll up. and to the first person i never said that it was supposed to look like the SMS app. jsut because jive talk does doenst mean all other apps have to. and also im just postin this for others who are interested in trying out new apps

I didn't say you did. I was just giving my opinion that the beejive app looks more like the SMS app. Didn't mean to get you upset.

Is this web App for AIM users only? Cause all my friends are in MSN messenger. I like the interface and look of it but if i can't use it with MSN messenger, then it doesn't do me any good.

nope ANY 3rd party web app will only use data charges. assuming you have an ulimited data plan then your good to go
but like other people said try out jivetalk too and see what you like

after trying flickim i do like it, but the buddy list is a little annoying, i then tried beejive which i didn't hear about until now and i absolutely love it, an actual buddy list with away messages, etc. its great.

thanks guys.

I think a lot of these 3rd party aps are nice (Beejive is one of my favorites) but the big problem remains that your phone has to be on and you have to be logged into Safari for them to work. You won't get notified of an incoming message if your phone is asleep.

I'm using the AIM to SMS option... I know I've mentioned it before and it's only good if you have an unlimited texting plan, but honestly it's all I'm using now for AIM. All the messages come in through SMS, so just like any text message you get notified even when the phone is asleep... and that is much more useful to me.

It'll be a lot nicer when we actually have iChat.

Looks interesting I like it

Are they going to charge for the beejive (jive talk) app when its out of alpha and beta. Looks like they charge for the blackberry version

I hope not
