When someone sends me code or something for the calendar, this is an essential capability.<BR/><BR/>Another thing I'd like though, which is NOTABLY absent, is the ability to send messages to my offline contacts. Even if the contact has only just sent me a message, I can't reply and I get my own messages bounced back to me verbatim as if my contact were a "parrot".<BR/>This especially sucks as I have some contacts who for privacy reasons (or something) stay offline 24/7 and they think that I'm ignoring them. Again, this is a problem that I encounter when using the built-in client but it's not really a client-side problem. The client doesn't particularly care if someone is online or off (although I think it warns if you try to start a conversation with an offline contact), so I'm picking that this is a big serverside bug.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, because the in-built IM client can only be used as a universal messenger with the help of a MIPS server, you add an extra point of failure and ultimately it means more bugs and more downtime.SneakyWho_am_ihttp://imvucode.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805875801060719527.post-66070681389294320322009-01-28T15:34:00.000-08:002009-01-28T15:34:00.000-08:00I debranded my N95 specifically to gain access to the "IM" application which my operator had hidden from me. That app is however a(\n) MIPS client, so you have to register at a third party website (I use mobjab). So far so good, I mean it works right?<BR/><BR/>It seems to run as a system service thing, which is good.<BR/>However, once your account is set up, you can't log in to a different AIM account for example - you have to go to a DESKTOP PC, load up a JAVA client on there, and configure your account through that. That's right, there's no web interface.<BR/><BR/>The IM client itself is good, although the MIPS server does some weird things. Bold text comes through surrounded by asterisks even though my device can support fonts. If you use it while travelling and your service is interrupted, the application can crash and sometimes become unusable until you next start the phone. It's a bit unstable in that if the connection is dropped it can become unresponsive for possibly a few hours until it reconnects. The client has a logging feature, but you have to turn it on in every conversation where you want to use it - before you want to use it.<BR/><BR/>Of course, the MIPS server is only a gateway to the various IM services so it has almost no contact management possibilities. Yes, you can delete and block contacts (but if you block them, you must also delete them) but I don't really see how to add them.<BR/><BR/>Of course, mobjab.mobi has its own errors periodically whiuch results in individual services being disconnected on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>So if it has all these problems, why use it?<BR/>- it parses phone numbers and links, same as the SMS functionality in the phone. Other clients such as Nimbuzz lacked this feature and it drove me crazy as my friends and I are all hyperlink addicts<BR/>- It provides notifications of new messages on the active standby screen<BR/>- it almost never ever closes<BR/><BR/>=============================================<BR/>I've never tried or heard of slick, but it sounds like it has all of the good features of the Nokia IM application and none of the bad (although yeah, your screenshots are super ugly - I hate those colours).<BR/><BR/>I'm off to try it out right now!SneakyWho_am_ihttp://imvucode.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805875801060719527.post-17054299702163870682008-01-08T16:29:00.000-08:002008-01-08T16:29:00.000-08:00yes that would be a great feature. if slick can throw in a webcam feature as well, holy crap this application would get app of the year in my book.Mikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15152920739313279356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4805875801060719527.post-71473423022150842682008-01-02T08:52:00.000-08:002008-01-02T08:52:00.000-08:00i would also add a push to talk feature similiar to the one in the Palringo App.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
