GAIM runs perfectly for me on 770 and N800 for the most part. My only problem has been not getting the meanwhile (sametime) client to work-- AIM, MSN, Yahoo and irc all work well.

And I truly saw no problem with Arjun's posts. He's right: an easy, proper search does turn up many IM threads that answer your original question. IMO some people are being far too sensitive in this forum, looking for insults and slights that aren't really there.

I have $.02 to contribute too: let's quit assuming the worst about a poster's intent (in this case, Arjun). Some might be amazed how far that small effort goes toward constructive discourse all around.
