I got the 7105t yesterday after losing my Sidekick. I'm having a really hard time with the IM program that is preinstalled on the blackberry. I have 250 or so buddies on my buddy list and it is telling me I only have 30. Does anyone know if this is a common problem? Should I pay for one of the other im services that connects to AIM? If so, which one do you guys recomend (the one that looks and acts most similar to using it on a computer)

I'm new to Blackberry so any other software recomendations would be great.

Thanks.

I have a 7100t. Unfourtunately you can only have a max of 30 buddies on this version. Try searching the forum for Verichat or some 3rd party IM application. There are some good ones out there.

thank you for the quick response. I've seen a lot of talk about the verichat and also im+ so now I just have to figure out which will be the best.

I keep trying to download the Verichat trial and nothing happens. I mean it downloads all these files that don't open. Has anyone else had this problem?
