Everyone keeps missing the point. This is the ONLY chat program that comes with a server that keeps your connection alive while you quit the program or sleep your iphone. You can stay online all the time with it. No other program does this. They also notify you (I use a text message to my phone) when you get an IM. There is no alternative that does what this does.

as far as IM goes i'm pretty happy with Fring, plus it gives you skype support and Voip... and free!

I'm not sure what the ga-ga is over bee jive but $15 is not worth IM.

Bought this one this morning and I absolutely love it… far superior to the free apps out there…

I’ve used this app a lot so far and I have to say it is worth every penny for people who need to have their chat sessions on a dedicated server and not just cancelled when you exits the program. For non-power users though, I wouldn’t recommend dropping $15.99 for an app that is probably going to be dropped to $9.99 or less soon. I have the email forwarding option on but I prefer Mobile Chat’s SMS solution more because it’s more practical then having someone check their email constantly to see if they received a new im. Even with it’s faults (which aren’t many…) BeeJive IM for the iPhone is still the best mult-platform IM app to date for the iPhone. I’m just patiently waiting for Apple to “flip the switch” to their push notifications. That will enable this app to be so much more than it already is.

i had this for my old blackberry, it really was awesome. I have a new company curve and it was linked to my device's PIN so i have to buy it again if i want to use it.

I would seriously recommend this if you are an IMer. Good job beejive!

Well, I've commented elsewhere on this whining over developers charging for quality applications. Hell, there are $0.99 apps in AppStore I think are too expensive. But I paid $16 for this without a second thought. First rate app.

As for whether Palringo or IM+ will support notifications, I'm not sure I care. Already those (and MobileChat) are were almost completely unusable and give me not what Beejive has in just the first two days of use. I've used way too many IM applications (all options on the iPhone so far and most of the best known for PalmOS) to wait around for the free ones to catch up to what can be done when you can put some real $$ behind development and support. I spend $16 on this app (which is $20 for the blackberry already, BTW, and selling quite nicely) with complete and utter glee.

I downloaded this app.

I wrote a “shoot out” between Aim, MobileChat and Beejive here; http://www.tuscanidream.net/?p=165

Bejive was the winner in my eyez.

probably a good app (especially now that IM+ is stack with a connecting on the screen) but 15.99 is way tooooo much. I too would be glad to give a fiver though
