When We activate GPRS Packs in Mobile, we tend make complete use of it.One of the desired thing is to have Chat IMs(Instant Messenger) on Phone so that one could constantly keep in touch with their Online buddies.

Some of your Phones come with Inbuilt Chat Clients, if you don’t have default Chat Clients you can Use Third Party Chat Clients like Nimbuzz, Fring, eBuddy, mig33, Palringo.Here we try to provide quick insights on some of the IMs.

We have Tested these Chat Clients in Nokia 5230 (Symbian60V5 device) you can also find Download Links for the Apps which is suitable for your Model. Nimbuzz

Using Nimbuzz is a Good Experience though it Takes Several Seconds (or even minutes) to make Connection, Sync Accounts and load your Contacts.

It works like Charm when it is Completely loaded if you spare few extra seconds you will enjoy a wholesome chatting experience.

Every 3rd Party Mobile Chat Application Needs Users to Register with them you got to have a Nimbuzz Account before you could add any of other Third Party IMs like GoogleTalk, Yahoo or any another.

Once you are done with login all you need to do is set up all your other IMs which Prompts for your Username and Password.

I Rate Nimbuzz and Fring Equally, Nimbuzz has an upper hand over fring as Nimbuzz is not Stuffed with Ads.

Both Nimbuzz and Fring has Cooler interface supporting Voice Calls and easier IM integration eBuddy being Simple, though supports Facebook Chat Client it has limited features (No Voice calls and Chat Rooms) eBuddy beats both Nimbuzz and Fring when it comes to File Size eBuddy is easy to download but has limited support.

If You want Full Fledged IM experience go with Nimbuzz or Fring Application.What Mobile Application do you Use for Chat?
