To be honest, the only two IM clients for the AT&T Fuze I've experienced so far is the one included with the stock firmware, and Slick. I prefer the stock firmware more. Does anyone have this app extracted? Or is there a better one they can recommend?

If you have a data plan (which you should if you have a Fuze), two free IM clients you can use are Palringo and BeeJive (right-click & Save Target as on those hyperlinks).
If you REALLY want that "OzIM" I think it is, I might have it floating around to post for you (actually, I have an AT&T ROM floating around I can yank it from). But I'd recommend looking into other solutions, personally (because doesn't the stock solution use SMS to deliver messages?).

That would be really nice if you could . So far I like palringo. And yeah, I do have a data plan, but it's very limited.

I knew that people could message you if you binded your AIM/MSN account to your mobile phone. That's just not good enough to me, though, because I'd have to wait for someone to contact me in order for me to get a hold of them. If there's an SMS-based solution that can fetch your buddy list and act as an IM Client, sure! I'll go for it. I didn't think there was an SMS-Based solution other than binding your account. That would be good for me since I have unlimited texting enabled.
Thank you so much for your help so far. I really appreciate it .
OZim is weak in my opinion. It uses TEXT messages instead of the network traffic.
IM+ is the bomb. I spend a lot of time messaging and all of the other clients seem lackluster.
Give it a trial whirl.

I have to agree w/Thresher. SMS based IM solutions (to me, anyway) just waste my Text Message allowance. But if your data plan is limited, I guess that may be a better option for you. I have unlimited Data, personally, so I try to use as much data as humanly possible .

Oh? I had no idea AT&T had unlimited data plans. I have unlimited texting, but limited data. I wonder if I could have unlimited texting with unlimited data... hmmmm... Do you know how much does having an unlimited data plan cost? I could probably talk my mom into adding it into the family plan since my brother, sister, and I all have smartphones.

Looks like unlimited data is $30/month, and unlimited data + unlimited messaging is $50/month.
I agree IM+ is the best solution. My only issue with them right now is when will they add FaceBook IM as one of the options. I think they have it on the BlackBerry client, but haven't seen it on the WM client yet.

Palringo has FacebookIM if you haven't tried it.
Also, you can probably stick your SIM in a dumphone for a couple days, and either go to a corporate store or go into the OLAM and add the unlimited media net internet (I'm not sure about the price now but I pay $15 a month). After it kicks in just stick the SIM back into the Fuze and everything will work fine.
+1 to IM+
especially now that i Skinned it and got rid of the green.

For family plans it looks like it's about 40$/month for unlimited data + unlimited messaging. That's good. Thanks for the help!
Looks like I'll have to get IM+ once I get my data plan setup. Thanks for the help, everyone .
+1 for IM+
Ive been using IM+ for the last 3 yrs. Wouldnt trade it for any other IM client
Beejive is a close free alternative , but still nowhere near as clean. Well worth the few dollars ! ( plus you can transfer the same license to another devce when you but a new one and also IM+ has free upgrades to new software versions! )

I can't view the pics unless I am a member of that forum.
Hey, nhvoltage, what is that picture of the HTC mini phone on your skinzone site?
Even if you do have unlimited texting I feel that OZim is more prone to problems as a result. For instance; I was having a problem with mine, uninstalled it but then began receiving tens and eventually hundreds of texts relating to OZim and logging into/out of a service. It was kind of nutty. Had to reinstall, relog in and make sure I was logged out officially before I uninstalled.
I'm not trying to bang on OZ, it actually did work pretty well when it was working.
I had problems with some services understanding who it should display as my friends. I had to put all of my IM contacts into a creatd MOBILE category in order for them to show.

u have me lost...
can you explain more. also registration is quick and painless, and then you can download tons of skins.
How's the battery life with IM+? I've used beejive and it kills... Oz's a lil better compared to beejive when it comes ot battery life...
beeeeeejiivvvve although it is kind of small in the chat feature
Just curious, has anyone tried fring?
Beejive IM rocks!
Looking for a better email client than the native..free would be nice, the default one doesn't seem to refresh correctly. The Hero native one looked promising but went back to cupcake instead
Any suggestions since you guys have been using it longer than I have (since Sunday)
you can try K-9 seems to work really well. is based on the native client but seems to work better worth a try.

I'd recommend K9. Had it since it was first released onto the market, it's an excellent app. in my opinion.
the htc mail app is excellent. see the rogers rom.
Another vote for K9 Mail. Latest version that's not yet on the market has nice improvements and fixes.
The HTC mail app was pretty nice when I loaded the Hero rom on but I took it off since it ran to slow, is there a way to get just the mail app?
I tried out k9 and I like it and works pretty well...don't really care for the icon but that's something I can live with lol

Likely origins of the icon: link. The devs must be Doctor Who fans
Ah yea looks pretty similiar...works well though, much better than the default with my 4 other email accounts
Has anyone given this new messenger app a go? It just appear on the market. I'm interested to see what everyone thinks of it.

I tried it...the interface looks really good..i know agile messenger on iphone is pretty good....i think with more updates it will be one of the top messenging apps on the G1...
but right now its too new and it foreclosed on me a few times and wouldnt connect on 3g...but it definitely has potential i cant wait for udates!
I can tell you that it is the best when it ocmes to PPC but for G1 is going well, waiting for updates.
well im looking for the app that has "im yahoo n msn messenger" i saw it in one of my friend rom but cant find it... where can i download it.. i remember android had it but cant find it...
I'd like it as well
i think the name of the app was "androind client... forgot the rest...
Android 1.5 had that built in. 2.1 doesnt. I'd use Meebo. Thats the only halfway decent IM client out there for Android.

Not sure about IM but I wanna see a facebook chat application, better yet a decent facebook app.

eBuddy does Facebook chat along with all the others all in one. Might check it out.
the app is Android IM... it is in Enomther's latest ROM. its ok, but use meebo, its much better and has more functionality.. i wish digbsy would make an android client... that would by far be the best.
attached!!! have fun!!
One week for today I'll be getting my gTab and I am new to Android in general. Are there any IM clients that play well with the gTab?
Scott
Honestly... I have yet to find an IM app that doesn't play well. I should also state: that is if you're looking to chat only. Getting into video is a whole other can of worms.

Just straight up IM, no need for video at the moment. New to android so I don't know the popular IM apps at the moment, should probably just search the market and see what is well rated.
Scott
For chat they all seem to work well.
I like imo.im the most.
It just looks better to me,
Its one of the newer im apps.

Personally i use ebuddy which incorporates all my gmail accounts yahoo accounts facebook chat accounts and etc.
I forgot about ebuddy. I tried it before when I was running stock with enhancement pack and it wouldn't work for me. Now im on tnt lite 4.2 and haven't tried it again.
I went with Trillian; I'd been using the PC version for ages, and love the elegance of what they have on Android. YMMV.
I just use google voice. Click on your contact's cell phone number (the smiley face to the right) and text away. You have to set up google voice once and you are good to go. Do a search on this forum for the thread on this topic

seconded.
i've tried ebuddy, im+ and a few others and Trillian seems to offer the cleanest UI in my opinion.
