Slick IM Updated - My Favorite S60 Instant Messenger Now Has Full Theme Support


I've always been a huge fan of Slick Instant Messenger because of the amazingly simple layout that makes sense on a mobile device and the stability of the application. The customization is great and all the necessary IM protocols are included. Since I very rarely use Skype calling I don't need to always use something like Fring or Nimbuzz.

Slick IM was recently upgraded to include full theme support, one of my most wanted features in the past. Before the interface colors were customizable but never really blended well with my theme. Read on for more information...

Features:

  • Supported protocols: ICQ, Yahoo, AIM, MSN, Google Talk, Jabber
  • Text messaging
  • Emoticons
  • Alerts - sound, backlight, vibration, notify window displaying number of new messages
  • Group and buddy management (add, delete, rename)
  • Message history
  • File transfer - send and receive files
  • Sending / receiving offline messages
  • Downloading files sent as links
  • More features to be added
Another important feature is Access Points. You can specify your main access point which is my home WLAN, and an alternate access point which is my AT&T data connection.

All of these features and the recent update with theme support makes Slick IM the best instant messenger experience for the Nokia N82, in my opinion. Not to mention it's FREE!

If you already have it installed launch it and go to Options > Tools > Program Update.
