I actually have the Sprint/Samsung Uproar and have AOL IM running on it and its
not something I would call "instant" messaging. It makes for no difference
between SMS and IM, it would nice if I didnt get an alert asking me if I wanted
to view a new message and rather just get it.
Also I keep forgetting to "sign off" so I have a million messages asking why I
dont answer people back, thats a pain in the ass.
One cool thing we have developed for Musicphone is MusicBuddies and a
MessageBroadcast platform where we can take voice and send to the IM platforms
with the voice message, which is very cool and alot better than these text
based message swapping.
There is alot of power in a voice portal that should not be overlooked beyond
basic text messaging and IM.
