Let's talk about Instant Messaging Programs

I've been using Mundu for 2 weeks now. At $11 for a lifetime license...ain't bad. Pretty stable. Agile was nice, but buggy...and now...expensive. Octro was just awkward and caused hate and discontent with my gmail account. IM+ was cool but too dependent on Jabber and had its quirks too. I'm gonna stick with Mundu(even the name is kinda fun).

I have been using Mundu now for a couple of days.....It's pretty cool....I wish it would let me know when it logs me off or automatically log me back in (if i go in and out of a service area).....

Hey Nor ... what type of alert would oyu like to have? I can recommend some changes to the developers as I do have some access to them. Also, what carrier are you using? Verizon? Sprint?

thanks ...

Verizon....

A pop up or something would be nice......I know there have been a few times, I clicked the icon to go into Mundu and all of a sudden it is reconnecting me....or sometimes I will be on AIM, and notice MSN and Yahoo signed me out....

Also, if I am in a convo and set my phone down and the screen turns off, I noticed there is no alert for a new message....only an alert if I am NOT in a convo.....

NOOOOOO! I just updated Octrotalk and it said my trial has expired. I think they're starting to charge now. Are there any free messenger services left?!

[n99hockey]

uh oh...if they are starting to charge then there arent any more free ones. how much are they charging?
you can always uninstall the program and install the previous cab file that was free...

Octro only shows one tab for messages at a time sadly, last I checked anyway, showing the most recent message. The is the buddylist tab, and the last IM tab, you still have to pull up a menu if you are having a conversation with more than one person.

Unless this changed recently, which would be quite nice if it did...?

We did change this -- there is now an option (in preferences) to open multiple tabs (one for each buddy). There are also several other new features like support for jabber conferencing, p2p file transfer/sharing with desktop, etc.

[n99hockey]
