    There is probably about 2 million threads about this. I was wondering if there is a free IM app that supports Facebook chat, or allows my phone to reply to someone on MSN who is appearing offline. I don't really like E-Buddy in the web browser and it looks like Nimbuzz + Palringo do not work with the latest Storm 2 OS. Apparently Instango works with Facebook but it looks like it takes about 2 years to connect.

    Currently, those are the only choices:

    eBuddy, Palringo, Nimbuzz, and Instango.

    Of course, the paid apps seem to work with the newer OS versions (IM+ and BeeJive).

    Yeah, you're right - there are a lot of posts on this topic. But, you can't go wrong with BeeJive. It is well worth the $15, and there's no other IM app that can compare....it's just one of the best BB apps available.

    I think I may buy beejive although I don't really buy apps (Well not really for BB, since most of the stuff you need is free. I don't have a Touch, since I'm still deciding to buy a 32/64GB or wait for the rumoured new ones). I finally got Instango to connect and when I added my MSN account, the window just doesn't open. Nimbuzz and Palringo seems to not be working with 5.0.0.436. Palringo just opens the full screen keyboard on my menu.

    I tried downgrading but I can't for some reason and I've done it before. I don't particularly like the latest update, for example; sometimes my phone doesn't ring when it's on loud. It also never vibrates when I get a message on BBM. When I plug it into DM it always "upgrades" to 5.0.0.436.

    Question: Do any of these apps and IM+ allow me to do multi convo on skype? Would be cool to have that and Facebook chat.
