eBuddy vs Imo.im

[chareos12]

Hi guys,

I'd like to hear from you about your impressions and preferences.

Months ago I switched from eBuddy to Imo.im cause of massive battery drain in the 1st. Imo was massively better.

In your opinion, has eBuddy improved in the last few months ?
Does it reconnect aggressively and reliably when connection gets lost and/or acounts get accessed from a pc ?

I'm particularly interested in gtalk, (eventually skype) and facebook protocols effectiveness.


Thank you all !

It's been a while since I used eBuddy. I only have WLM contacts and I always use MSN Talk. It's by far the best MSN type client I've tried. I use the free version, but there's a paid version as well.

i'm using beejive and it's using Google Push, so the battery will not drain eventhough i on it everyday and night.

I prefer IMO.IM as it doesn't need that extra log in account, like in eBuddy.

IMO.IM is easy, fast, simple ... but it doesn't have groups (based on IM account, apart from Skype), and the Chat History is nowhere to be found although there's an option in Preferences to turn it on.

Do you see history anywhere??

i tried imo but i have problems with logging in and out.
i wasn't visible for people but imo showed me i was logged in.
now i use Trillian and it works fine.
ok it's not free but works perfect for me..

Too bad they dont mention which accounts it supports. Need to look it up later on.

History is save in the IMO server. If you login in, then you can see it..

Ahh, on server ... pretty useless ... I dont see any history on imo on Android anyways.

Still, I love that messneger. But still have doubts whether to use the build in Gtalk or IMO. Same with FB chat.

But good for Y!, MSN, AIM.

+1 on Trillian. Great app, and goes perfectly hand-in-hand with the PC & web clients!

First used ICQ for Android. This was bad. For a long time i use Meebo IM, which i can recommend. I did not try eBuddy&Co, but Meebo does not give me a reason to do this. IMHO the disadvantage, one cannot transfer files, is not that important.

I also use Meebo with Skype, quite nice
