    I posted this a few hours ago. The only problem I've had was while entering username/password it doesn't let you backspace to delete things. When I press it the program exits. Otherwise I like it. Someone said that it doesn't do file transfer but I have never needed that while mobile and rarely use it on the computer so I'm happy with it - just hope the final is faster.

    yea i just saw you posted it in another thread...didnt see a new thread for it

    and yes i found that out the hard way a few times...hahaha kept exiting after i realized it started in Alt not abc mode

    i never used file transfer either from the Q with any aim apps...so it works fine for me as well

    When i try to enter my screen name in it keeps entering the numbers from the keypad, not the letters....it won't let me change it either! Also if i have a typo in the name and i try to delete with backspace it just shuts down the app!!
