Not as nice but a free alternative...instango.com - Mobile Instant Messaging

[ninja please]

IMO instango beats jive by a longshot.

how is instango on battery life compared to jivetalk?

[gemsong]

I'll try it, thanks!

[ulnek]

it seems slower to me than jive and it doesn't alert well.

[gemsong]

two things.. I can't DL isntango, it loops me in a circle. Also does anyone know how to get a bejive coupon?

Sorry, but they're not currently honoring coupons. You might get lucky round holidays. Check this website frequently.

give nimbuzz a shot if instango isn't your thing.

How can't you afford this if you have a BB and you are with TMobile???

+1 for instango

[digitalb0y]

I personally have never had an issue with instango. It doesn't seem to be a memory leak or severe battery drainer, has plenty of options for how to use your connections, manage data and power consumption, etc. It always alerts me (though on th Curve and Pearl the notifier icon a see on my Bold is missing, the only VISUAL alert in <4.6 OSes is the app icon itself). I also think it matches the phone's interface a lot better than JiveTalk, and you can't beat the price!

Of course, YMMV, but I couldn't fathom paying for Jive Talk. I'd much rather donate to a smaller developer working hard to offer superior software for free.
