QuickIM quick review
QuickIM instant messenger software allows you to connect to public MSN networks and chat with friends from anywhere you are. QuickIM is also available for corporate networks and can connect to private instant messaging networks running QuickIM server software. So it offers users a good private wireless messaging solution for companies who don't want to use public networks to exchange sensitive information.
QuickIM connects directly to the instant messaging network instead of through a third party vendor own gateway as it is with most free solutions. The positive point being your chat messages won't be intercepted by a third party gateway (important if what you say may contain sensitive information). The drawback of this is when you lose GPRS coverage, your friends will see you offline. But may be it's not a too big issue since you are anyway unable to answer to your friends messages if you are out of coverage.
Classic messenger features (buddy list, emoticons, multiple chat rooms) are present, plus some additional features such as the QuickText feature to pre-record useful message templates and the last received message scroller. Overall, the messenger has a simple user interface. The messenger can be configured to run in background, in case of new messages coming in, you'll be alerted by a sound signal.
The pricing of QuickIM is one time fee as opposed to annual subscription fee of some other paid solutions. So it's more expensive than a free solution, but its cost is limited if you care about not letting third parties read your messages.
Why would you spend money on QuickIM when you get AgileMessenger for free...! 😃
Aye $19 for just MSN, with a rather ill-thought-out interface.... or.... Free for MSN/AIM/ICQ/YIM and a charming fully custom interface... No contest really.

Some advantages of QuickIM:
1. QuickIM is VERY data bandwidth friendly! This is because as opposed to some other messengers (free or paid) that are proxy based, QuickIM uses direct socket method to connect to instant messaging servers, and doesn't need to poll the server for new information every few seconds, instead it sends/receives data only when there is truly a message to send/receive (once an hour?). The difference in GPRS data cost is of course HUGE!
2. QuickIM connects directly to the instant messaging network instead of through a third party vendor own gateway as it is with most other solutions. The positive point being your chat messages won't be intercepted by a third party gateway with potential confidentiality issues (important if what you say may contain sensitive information).
