I second this! JiveTalk is an amazing application. Try it our for the FREE 30 days and you will find out it is well worth the ONE TIME fee.

I installed JiveTalk... and I'm honestly telling you that I don't think i'll go back to simple transports! It's a GREAT program! I'm still going to ride out the next few weeks with the trial, but honestly, it has a great interface, quick, easy to use... Combines all the protocols I need... I don't think i'm gunna change .

I totally recommend it!
On the other hand I tried IM+ and it was a tad slow typing with the bubble chat, but JiveTalk is "da bomb!" Two thumbs up Good job!

Here is the link for Live Messenger off the BlackBerry Site.
It seems many are getting the Error 500 story when trying to either access the page or the download button. I get the error when trying to download, I get to the page with no problems.

Webloader version on the same link via Desktop gives the following:

Here is a good post on how to set up the GTalk Transports:

Multi Platform Chat on Your Blackberry | serialdesigngroup.com

There is also a link about half way thru the post for public transport servers.

If one of you transports stops or fails, its more than likely a change by the admin of your transport server to either block or stop allowing a certain transport type. The only thing you can do is find a new transport server. Which is not always bad, you may even find one that allows for file transfer.

gtalk with my aim, yahoo, and msn transport has been working great so far. it evens send me a pop message when i get new email on my hotmail. and all for free!

Hi guys

Been messing around with Gtalk on my BB as I want to have a multi-network chat client. Got it all set up with Miranda, but when I want to log in on Google Talk on my BB, I get the message "Service not available for this handheld"... I have a 8310.

I use Psi to setup my transports on my Mac (or PC). This has been the approach that has yielded the best results. I would recommend, closing GTalk on the BB, go back through setting up the transports via Psi, then login to your GTalk account on the GTalk website. This will confirm that your transports are registered properly. Now relaunch GTalk on the BB.

Yes, Jivetalk is a great app. Believe it or not, there are those of us that continue to use transports in Jivetalk, and Jivetalk experiences issues just the same. And before the "are you nuts" posts start, I use transports so that I can login to the Google Chat app via the web and still be able to chat with all of my contacts on any computer with an internet connection, especially when there is no cell signal.

I use pidgin on my desktop, I havent had the first issue with jivetalk at all. Why use transports in jivetalk when all the im services are offered?

I work in a company where there are Macs, Windows, *UX machines, and locked down Citrix instances. I can be on any of those machines to varying degrees everyday, they are shared, which means I can't install and config all of the chat clients on all of the machines so I can keep in touch with my contacts throughout the day.

The best option is for me to use Transports with GoogleTalk, then I can sit at any computer in our company (even the ones in the data center where there is no cell signal) and launch the web based Google Talk Client.

... if it wasn't for my specific needs, I would be 100% on JT without Transports.

msn.nedbsd.nl transport no longer work as msn messenger transport. any1 know any other transport out there that works with msn messenger? thx in advance.

[HaTaX]

I use msn.jabber.me.uk, works well for me.

Kinda wondering why BB instant messenger never integrated other networks, would have been nice if there was an option outside of a bes with LCS.
