The problem is that geeks sometimes get frustrated that less geeky people don't understand simple techy things, but be reminded if you ever want the money required to have a much much better device and more money to develop with, you better make it easy to understand for the common end user otherwise both people end up losing out, get my drift?

Back to the FORUM TOPIC, you can try Gizmo, which I don't really like... I went to make a test call after installation and registering and ended up owing 23 cents for a call that didn't even work. But apparently they just added some messenger ability... but for confusing me with how an account works and charging me for trying to test my account to my own home phone really sucks big time... at some stage in the near future I will sign in, pay the 23 cents, cancel my account and never go near Gizmo ever again... Simply annoying

I tried Pidgin messenger and that was ok but for some reason it seemed to bug out when using an IRC account, but for some they may prefer Pidgin messenger over GAIM which is what I prefer for usage with MSN, YAHOO and AOL/AIM Messengers, you can also connect to IRC servers as well.
