Ever since the iphone got released one of the apps that i really wanted was some kind of messenger that had windows live messenger in it and not something else like aim or yahoo messenger. A while ago on the trillian astra site there is a picture of astra being on the iphone when it becomes available although i believe that’s in the alpha stage at the moment. The next best thing was google talk and thanks to a blog post by matt i seen that google talk was now available on the iphone. I liked what google had done with this as it was really easy to use and there were no problems at all when using it and sending messages but it still wasn’t the messenger i wanted as it wasn’t windows live messenger.

After browsing around on another site that was talking about iphone applications i came across one they mentioned called agile messenger and the screenshot they had was a picture showing you what messenger you wanted to log into and thankfully it had a live messenger option. After seeing this i went and downloaded it right away (yes this is for jailbroken iphones only) and i love this app a lot. It has a very nice looking interface and very easy to use, the navigation is simple and you can do almost everything a normal messenger could do. If you are wondering what messenger services it has well i’d say all of them:

ICQ

MSN

AOL

Yahoo

Jabber

and finally Google Talk

You can log onto all those messengers at the same time and there is nothing hard about doing it, i haven’t come across any trouble yet apart from editing my groups as i’m just not able to arrange them at all which is annoying as some of them are wrong but that’s only in the google talk messenger. So if you have a jailbroken iphone and want a good messenger service then go for this definitely and for more information then head over to agile mobile and i hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
