I feel your pain. MeeGo users have been long neglected by eBuddy. Have you guys tried GTalk? It is integrated into our OS and push notification works properly. You don't have to run it as an app and it doesn't drain battery. You can see who's online and best of all it just works. All it requires is for your contacts to have a Gmail account. All Android users should have this already. I'm surprised why anybody would struggle with a half-baked 3rd party app whose owners treats MeeGo users as beggars when GTalk is already integrated into our OS.
