I'm looking for a nice reliable client that covers all of Jabber, Google Talk, MSN, Yahoo and AIM. I've been using IM+ Lite until now which is a little unreliable (crashes often under load and refuses to connect to my Jabber account at work).

I'm happy to fork out a small fee for a reliable solution.

Is the IM+ full version (just released) any better?

What's Beejive IM like?

Any advice appreciated (what do you guys use?)

Palringo does the job. Beejive is the best but its quite pricey at around £10.

Have been test driving Palringo for a few hours, crashed a couple of times and doesn't do MySpace IM.

Still, seems OK....I have fring on my device but haven't used it in anger yet.

Will try it for a bit otherwise I'll fork out for Beejive.

Palringo is great, if only it had MySpace IM and Skype....

Can highly recommend this.

I didn't get on with Fring at all. With Palringo it's easy to stay invisible with all accounts and the list of contacts is nice.

I like Palringo but it is a bit crash prone.

I thought I'd bite the bullet and bought beejive the other day.

It's tremendous I must say. No crashes so far, great performance and looks so polished too. Connects in seconds.

It's expensive but worth it IMO.
