Quick software question

[SFGiants 2010]

Hey guys, I have a nooby software question for you:

I was playing with my brother's HTC Hero this morning and he had an app on there that was a built in Instant Messing client that had MSN messenger integration. He told me that the app was pre-installed on his phone.

My question is, will the thunderbolt have an app like this? I use MSN Messenger to chat with my family in Europe and the Middle East and it would be great to have a native MSN app. I havent had any luck with the MSN apps from the marketplace on my Dinc.

Thanks Guys!

I didn't have that on DInc, so maybe not. But you can easily download an app for instant messaging that will let you chat on MSN. There are quite a few out there. There are some for just MSN only if that is the only Instant Messaging client that you use.

The MSN Talk was the best MSN app, but is gone now as Micro$oft got offended by the naming of it.

And yes, the Hero came with a pre-installed MSN, AIM, Google Chat, and Yahoo! app called "Chat"...Haven't seen it on any of the others.

does that use your text messages when you use the app?

Look into Meebo. They have an Android app in addition to their website.

No, and that's what has me a little confused as I still have a Hero as a backup for a backup...Bingo! IM seems like a good one, but my kid is coming home from Iraq this weekend, so I won't be using IM until the other one goes to Afghanistan in the fall...Here's a link for Bingo! IM...

I prefer gtalk. I haven't sign on to AIM in years.

I found that on Android phones, google talk is the best. It pushes replies just as fast as text messages and is sent using data, not text messages.

Yeah, no kidding. I didn't know people still used MSN or AIM.
