Hi,
as I updated to gingerbread and nimbuzz is dead (lost major networks), I am looking for a new multimessenger app.
Need at least:
Facebook, ICQ, MSN
Would be nice:
Skype (chat only), IRC
Can anybody give a preference?
Thank you!

Wrong forum, try asking in the Android Software forum.

I've seen some videos on youtube shown that iPhone users are able to use BBM on their handset. so is it possible to do the same for our androids?
I've looked for an app equvilant of bbm with no luck
Whatsapp and pingchat are 2 that bb users can use but its not free.

Tell your friends to install Google talk or some other cross platform messenger. I never used BBM on my bb storm, despite it supposedly being a big selling point of blackberries, as no one I particularly wanted to chat with had a blackberry and it really annoyed me that it sat there unable to be removed using a huge 5mb of the paltry 128mb of memory that was also required for the OS and apps. Grr. Sorry about the rant, had to get that off my chest ;-)
Anyway, cross-platform FTW!

But today i saw couple of videos in YouTube that iPhone users can run bbm on their iPhone!

KiK Messenger
its cross platform (iphone, bb, android), and FREE, need i say more?
why would you want to install BB on your phone when you already have cross platform apps? it's just too redundant and won't serve any purpose anymore imo
None of these have group chat yet, though whatsapp says its coming soon.
BBM is way better atm, but cross messenger apps are slowly catching up. Kik is my favorite right now, because if its speed.

Can we not use gmail video chat to do face time?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
are you talking facetime as in apple? I think they only allow face time with other apple users
Well. You know how Google has a webcam video chat on gmail via webcam/laptop. Thunderbolt has front facing video camera. why couldn't we use gmail video chat on thunderbolt to talk to people on PC or laptop. Sorry if it is a dumb question.

Hmmmm... I wonder if the Honeycomb GTalk app would enable video chat... I'll try to decompile and fix for 2.2. First I need the apk...any links?

i have a xoom at work that we are testing, I will try to pull the .apk from google talk via titanium backup tomorrow since I have not rooted that device.
I was video chatting on my Xoom to my girlfriend the other night. I forget if it was the in the Talk app or not, pretty sure.
As far as "FaceTime", you can video chat with people using Tango and Yahoo Messenger for now, and Skype (with video calling) is coming soon.

I have definitely used video chat on my Xoom from the Talk app.
Let Google Know
I found a thread asking Google to please get video chat rolling here in the Google support forums.
Yeah I don't know if the Honeycomb GTalk app would just work on Froyo considering that GTalk is apparently heavily baked into a lot of Android features. But this would be an amazing feature. Maybe more people would finally start using GTalk too since it's hard to get my friends to kick their SMS addiction.
does any of us can do a facebook application special for Motorola Defy.
sure its gonna be interesting
There is a Facebook app in the Market which works fine for me!
Why would you like a special app for Defy?
Sorry for my bad english

Market facebook app work nice, just try it.
I think market Facebook app sucks...
A better choise for me is FriendCaster!

I agree, FriendCaster beats the official Facebook app hands down! Especially the pull up 'favourites' tab (similar to the iOS' Favourite profiles, which I miss from my iPod touch days), the ability to tag photos (can't believe it's still not possible in the default one!!) and the popup notifications, especially reminding me of friends' birthdays.
Although it doesn't have chat, Go! Chat is a Facebook chat client (still better than official FB chat) Go on, give it a go
If Friendcaster supports chat function, I will probably use it instead of the Official Facebook app.
can link yahoo messager as fb chat now
sent from my satellite , s6xmeup
I am now using beejive (just facebook chat client), it works really good and against go chat, it shows the messages you got when you were offline. I would like an app that notificates me when i got a notification on facebook

Hey guys,
Living in China here and facebook is blocked, when I first had blur facebook use to work through Moto's blur service.
Now that I have CM, there is no more blur and no more facebook...
Besides getting a VPN to bypasss China's firewall, is there any facebook app available now that works through their own server?

If you want more functionality there is always the possibility to just visit the mobile/regular website via your browser. It only takes 1 tap more if you have facebook listed in your favourites.

I don't understand how would it be exclusive to defy, am I missing something?
I don't expect this to already exist and I suspect there are a lot of challenges to this such as api availability and so on... But what is the likeliness of a universal video chat app such as trillian for instant messaging?
I have Skype, qik, oovoo, talk, and at one point yahoo. I don't really use any of them but I feel like I would if they were all merged together so I wouldn't have to open each app to see if someone is available. What challenges would there be developing this?
And of this belongs in apps and themes, please move.
