Works well for me too. It would be ideal to strem personal Telegram messages into the device's own messages service, but I'm fine with Pidgin.
Sometimes I just use my N900 while I have my Priv as well, and in so many aspects, Android is just so dumb compared to Maemo.
Text input in the other hand, has came a long way.

Anyway, thank you for doing your part in keeping this fantastic device alive.
