ICQ? Jivetalk is the best by far (IMO) and many others You can put all your IM clients on Jivetalk at once (i.e. ICQ, AIM, Googletalk)

Yeah I use Jivetalk as well and wouldnt switch for any reason. But everyone has their own opinion. I personally never tried ECQ, Im might give it a spin to see how it is.

ECQ is free, it does: MSN, AIM, Yahoo, QQ, Google Talk, ICQ and Jabber, and you can have them all open in one window.

It also sends cheap international texts and makes (supposedly) VoIP phonecalls, but uses your minutes so it's probably just one of those detour things.

And it comes with 25p credit. Lol.

I found this link on ECQ. It looks pretty interesting EQO Enables VoIP Calls and Instant Messaging on BlackBerry - EQO Mobile offers calling, text and Instant Messaging features - Softpedia

[jsconyers]

THis looks to be their official site. EQO - Mobile VoIP, free texts, and free mobile IM with EQO

Gotcha, thanks for the info..

I was so thrilled when I found it, I simply had to share.

Found it through the Blackberry Business Solutions website... so it seems to be approved, not just some random rubbish I found in some "backstreet" somewhere...

[Magpie]

Sorry, I'm very obviously an idiot. I meant EQO, not ECQ. EQO is awesome.

How to install it?
Sorry to ask since I am NewB for this BB device.
I use Curve (8300).

Thks in advance
