I use SmartIRC as my IRC client. It's a little goofy, and doesn't have every feature known to man... hell, it doesn't even install, it's just an ARM-compiled EXE that sits in your My Documents. But it gets the job done.

One of the most interesting quirks about the program is that all messages in all IRC channels populate the same window simultaneously, but with little notes next to them that tell you from which channel they were sent. When you change channels, you're just changing which channel your message is being sent to.

If that's working for you, then try a Java client. They're actually not half bad.

There are some other Smartphone-compatible (I don't know whether they're compatible with the Dash though) clients too; for example, wmIRC. I haven't tested the other clients on Smartphones (only PPC's); you may still want to check out my IRC client (and IM)-related articles at, say, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295227 , making sure you follow the links back to my earlier / other reviews. Some of the (WM5+ only) originally as PPC-only-advertised clients may also be compatible with the Smartphone too.

WMIRC is what I use and it's been nothing but perfect. Highly recommend it. Depending on what IRC network your connecting to it may not work with the tmobile proxy gprs but it will work with wifi. This will be a problem with any irc app btw.

Also does anyone know how to get WMIRC to work with tmobile proxy?

I tried many, wmIRC is the only one I can use without any problem. What I especially like it about: running in the background without hurting battery life; sound notification; multiple language support.
