My last Win Mobile question of the day is, is there a good IM for Win
Mobile 5 such as Trillian, that connects to multi IM providers such as
AIM, MSN, etc? An open source .NET one would be the best but I'll take
what I can get.
Thanks...

Hello,

Yes, Shape Services makes an all-in-one type messaging application. You can
try it at http://store.clintonfitch.com/product.asp?id=248

I've not used it personally so I strongly recommend trying it before buying.

Regards,

There are tons of different IM products for Windows Mobile. Unfortunately,
none of them comes close to Trillian; still, they're pretty useful.

See the IM Bible (
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1725&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 ;
note that there is a separate Smartphone version at
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2075&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 )
for more info and a complete tutorial / explanation. You WILL want to spend
some time on comparing these products because there's no "best" of them -
all of them have strengths and weaknesses.

Agreed. In addition, it lets you use Skype (for voice as well) and a
SIP VoIP provider all from one app.
