However, for plain IM purposes, it's not the best - "real", non-VoIP-centric
products are far better at textual messaging. See my related review at
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=2075&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
for more info.

Thanks for the link... I think IMOV looks pretty good for my purposes
(compatibility with lots of IMs, client-side logging) - has anyone had
any experiences with it worth mentioning?

Not really - I use it from time to time on both WM platforms and am very
happy with it, partivularly because of the auto-logging.

agilemobile makes the one i like:

agile messenger.

tried imov, and a few others, and their interfaces and stability didn't
stand up to the agile messenger. Agile is pretty expensive though, but
after messing around with the others, I gave in and just ponied up.

Never had a problem with it since.
