Beejive: An Instant Messaging Client for Windows Mobile That Doesn’t Entirely Suck

Currently in beta, BeejiveIM for Windows Mobile 6 (and only for v6, WinMobile 5 is not supported) is the first decent-looking, intuitive IM client I’ve dealt with to date.

I’ve previously used Agile Messenger (ridiculously priced at $45) but there was nothing intuitive about it at all.  BeejiveIM, on the other hand, is beautiful and, dare I say, iPhone-esque.  For now, the product is free but if it follows the path of BeejiveIM for BlackBerry ($19.95) and iPhone ($15.99), you’ll probably be required to pay for it once it exits a beta phase.

Now, if Beejive decided to take the Digsby route and integrate some social networking functionality into the product (think Facebook, Twitter, etc.) in addition to instant messaging, I’d drop whatever cash necessary for BeejiveIM – especially since Yahoo! has yet to deliver a Windows-Mobile equivalent of the (brilliantly intuitive and slick-looking) Yahoo! OneConnect application.

BeejiveIM is a must-have for those of you wanting to remain connected to your favorite instant messaging networks while on the road – be it on your iPhone, BlackBerry or Windows-Mobile device.

Thanks to Long Zheng via Twitter for the heads-up on Beejive.
