Gotta get the newest version of the firmware, which may not even be out yet. Just set up IM Forwarding through AIM. It works well, just doesn't have a buddy list.

no you dont...go to "web access" from your v400, then go to "im&chat" then "mobile IM", then follow along...after downloading it, IM will be under "games"

The file downloaded is Mobile.jar its Java..

once installed you get the following

Aim
Yahoo
CIQ

just select your client, hightlight user/pass and just enter your user/pass click Sign in

on the v400 i was using i kept getting Error no network which makes sense cause the phone wasnt connecting to gprs. ill look into alittle more.

ok here is the scoop.

the IM client uses GPRS to get your buddy list, but uses sms for the messages.. go figure..I've tested it on a demo phone works pretty good...
