    Oh it must be crap. Tell you what, I'll take that nasty G1 off your hands and uhhh "dispose" of it for you so it can't bother you anymore ;)

    theres no msn/yahoo on the uk version
    the us version used sms to do those transports anyway
    so way probably dependent on a tmobile usa sms<->messenger gateway thingy

    use www.meebo.com - it rocks, and is optimised as a web app for iphone/android.

    Google Talk is Jabber, which is a pretty flexible in what it can do.

    You can find a Jabber MSN Transport, link that to your GTalk account, and enjoy MSN through GTalk under one login. The downside is that I've yet to find a good stable MSN Transport.

    Well that's a bit useless.

    I have a ton more friends on my ewanmacleod & ewansms Gtalk accounts. Highly annoying.

    ah i see what you mean now - i think its the general - multiple google accounts issue

    they need a merge tool! :)

    if you like everyone else has 27 google accounts

    No MSN as standard why don't manufacturers put this in as standard? Here in the UK surely MSN is the most used IM Client?

    He ... it's easy why. Because it's closed protocol, closed source, so Nobody can "legally" use it wothout MS client and Nobody can guarantee what is happening with your data!. MSN also does not exists for a lot of platforms ... dont forget. windows are NOT alone here...

    just use the meebo app for android - plus it doesn't cost for sms!

    Maverick is an IM Android client that allows you to connect to more Google Talk accounts than the one tied to the phone account.

    Is it any good, Tom?

    I prefer Maverick over Meebo because Meebo seems to require that I login all the time. I'm surprised that it doesn't have a "remember password" option. Maverick stays logged in, or at least will remember my password so I don't have to type it in every time. It also has Gmail notification functionality, but I keep that turned off because I prefer the built-in notification. The only downside is that Maverick only supports GTalk.
