mig33 doesn't show all contacts that are online (tested many times, only shows 10 or 12 out of 25).
reporo crashes my phone, causing it to restart after a few minutes of use.
K850i was the SE's most superb phone. And failure.
Advanced to Android.

I'd be interested to know which messenging app is most data efficient. I've used Live Messenger and QuickIM on a K800i. Of the two, Live Messenger more readily connects to MSN BUT QuickIM seems to require about a quarter of the data to work in compared with Live Messenger app.

Anyone else looked at this?

Yeah but generally, the amount of data used is very low.

I dont know if I understand your question but I think itīs more upto the network provider youīre using and if they allow connections over all tcp ports, than the application itself.

Jargong, in this early beta, is using :8080 for some datatransfers and also some other tcp ports. People with network providers that blocked those ports cant use Jargong right now, but itīll be fixed in upcoming versions.

Proxys is also upto the network provider, in some network you need them and in some you dont. I prefer not using it.

Good luck!

i can bet: mig33 is much faster than reporo. reporo's GUI is good looking but complex and bulky(so is slow).mig33 is simple and fast. can you send free sms with that..?
