Finally a free service that only sucks a little for free mobile based IM. I’d much prefer an install app that clogs up the airwaves with a listening service like Agile Messenger, only their profit model it terrible! even though I have it on my PDA… I’m also not a huge fan of the interface of IM Plus, it’s bulky and the cost for what you get is… sub-good.

So, heysan! is a decent solution, but still not really what I’d like to see on a phone or mobile device for IM. It works for Yahoo!, MSN, AOL/ICQ, and GTalk, which is great - but it relies on browser refresh from the phone, which can be slow to respond, awkward to use (especially the refreshing screen while you’re reading), and the input window is kind of icky.

Complain, complain, complain…I know. Pardon me, I like using messenger’s they’re handy, and over the, the response time is better than SMS (and the character limit isn’t 160 characters)… no matter, I’ll be using heysan! until something better comes along, perhaps it’ll be the 2nd release of heysan! who knows.
