at&t doesn't allow us to use AIM on its blackberries. as for a workaround, hopefully one will surface but AFAIK we're out of luck. I've heard jivetalk is the best alternative

I've used Jivetalk on my BB for a while now. Just go to Beejive.com and download the program, u get a 30 day trial. After that it's either $20 to use full time on one device, or $29 to switch the program from one BB device to another. Best program out there for AIM.

Yeah, the problem is with the Service Books, you can manually get the IM Clients onto the phone, but the service books don't work if you're on AT&T.
