Beejive vs Trillian vs Talk

---

Which one would drain less battery on this phone? I know Beejive and Trillian use push services to send you messages... what does Talk use? Just trying to save the most battery I can...

Thanks

Funny... i was about to post a similar question.. Trillian vs Beejive.


Ive been using both.. tried trillian today... seems to work better reason why-> you can suspend the app and it will keep you logged in and send you an email if someone sends a message, then you just reopen the app. Beejive was able to do that on the iphone.... weird.. i didnt see that feature in the android version.

They both use push services though. Beejive has been more reliable for me.

GTalk will drain your battery - I found this out when it was left on by accident on the day the TB was activated.

Not sure why but Skype didn't drain as fast. Imo also didn't drain as fast. I'll be testing both Jivetalk and Trillian and will probably buy the latter because of the desktop sync which is unusual in this arena and a colleague tells me it actually seems to work.

I've been using trillian for now, as most of the others I've used don't use the push messaging, and we all know that's a horrible battery drain without that activated.

The thing I don't like though is that if I lose data for a second, and reconnect, it triggers all messages that I've read already as new IMs and sets the notification, which is quite annoying.

I'll look into Beejive. Trillian is the nicest app I've used so far, but it's really picky with data connections. There are times where it just doesn't want to let me log in at all, even though I can get a working data connection just fine.

I leave google talk running all the time, I dont have battery draining problems

I still use Palringo, which I love

I am trying beejive again to see batt life whileon 3g...

Cant believe all the crying about this app costing $10bux while i was searching around for reviews and comparisons. I think this is the first app i bought as soon as i got the phone.
