IM Options on Windows Mobile: Agile, WebMessenger, Palringo

One of my favorite instant messaging apps is Agile Messenger. This instant messenger allows me to do it all. If you’re looking to send pictures, voice and text while chatting it up with the buddies, you might want to check it out. Agile Messenger covers most of the famous clients such as MSN, AIM, Yahoo, and even Google Talk so no matter what your flavor is Agile has it.

The one thing I love about this app is that its so robust. I love being able to snap a picture and IM it to my friend in NY. Its robust abilities are also its downfall. It takes a lot of juice to power those functions and I find myself reaching for a charger when I use it a lot. Another downfal is price: If you’re not ready to clunk down $11.95 for a 3 month fee you can always get the permanent license for a whopping $44.95.

Sometimes you just want to see who’s online to let them know dinner has changed or you need to know what place to meet. More often you just need an instant messenger that can send and receive chats with your buddies that are online. If you are just looking for a simple instant messenger without all the bells and whistles you might want to take a look at WebMessenger IM now that it's free.

There's also the increasingly-popular Palringo, which does all of the above with the added bonus of Palringo "Vocal IM."

I think they'd be better of trying to partner with the cell phone companies that sell WM smartphones, cause 45 bucks is way to much for an IM client, even one that supports so many IMs.
Nick, you forgot to mention my favorite! Slick!

One reason I like it is that you can set a custom status message. That's the only thing I don't like about Agile, I can't set a custom status message. Or at least I couldn't the last time I tried it.
Slick is very cool, especially for being a Symbian-type port. I was going to do a short-review of that app maybe next week to give it more exposure since it's still in early beta.

Definitely does some neat graphic tricks too.
HUNH! Never heard of slick - worth a look.
No one mentioned IM+ either.
