Blackberry JiveTalk Review

Iv been using jivetalk for quite some time now. aprox. 3 weeks, iv heard that it destroys your battery if you stay logged in but iv never stayed logged in for more than an hour or so when talking to people. So I put it to the test. I stayed logged in over night unplugged from the charger and in the morning the battery was almost completely drained. So yes its a juice hog, but besides that its probably one of the best all in one IM programs available out there for your Blackberry device. With a low price of 19.99 for activation on a single Blackberry or 29.99 for use by one user but can be reactivated later on another BB if you plan on upgraded to another Blackberry soon. The only real instant messenger that is competing with jivetalk is IM+ and for its 49.99 price tag its definitely not worth the extra fee. So far jivetalk has worked flawlessly for me never booting me out of any accounts and can log you into just about every instant messenger service out there all at once including myspace IM and google talk and of course AIM Yahoo and ICQ are all available. A type of bubble talk is used when in a conversation so its easy to distinguish who is talking. On top of all the great features Jivetalk has a 30 day trial period so you can test it yourself. To test it out just go to http://www.beejive.com/index.wml on your mobile phone find the appropriate download and start your trial period. I give Jivetalk for the blackberry a 4.0 out of 5
