you're totally right about that, I just found it funny to suddenly find something I used in a bibliography cropping up in my IM app.

as for the bottom bar, that would be Matte UI Graphite via Winterboard, right again 😀 Also skins pop-ups, iPod app, sliders, and a heck of a lot of other aspects of the iPhone. No icons, though — you'll need Matte Nano for that.

I think I get what you're saying – I have much the same experience with Skype. Stupid, stupid Skype! 😀

Oh, wait, don’t get me wrong, I like BeeJive, just tired of some of the issues I’ve had of late.
I would like a read notification of sorts. Like an ‘r’ or something near a message. And, this is only because of late sometimes my messages just completely fail.

One thing I’ve never been able to figure out is why from time to time my contact(s) would appear offline, when they are not. And, sometimes I’m there with them and can see that they are not. I wonder if it’s just the way Beejive communicates with other devices.. Hmm…

I think the other main thing is, since I’ve been a Blackberry user for so long, the consistency of Blackberry Messenger has been so good, I’m looking for the same in an IM app like BeeJive 🙂

That's definitely surprising to hear because aside from a few days when iPhone 3.0 was first released, I haven't had any major problems with Beejive connections or chats. I log on near-instantly, but I only use MSN and Gtalk.

I'm curious, though, what else would you like in Beejive?

Nonetheless, I'm yet to find a good solid IM application for the iPhone. WhatsApp is close, very close. They now just need the 'chat' feature enabled between iPhones & Blackberry. I think with that done, we could have a winner. But, until then, I'll have to revert to TextSMS messages. It seems to be solid, and consistent.

Oh, on a side note, BeeJive support leaves a lot to be desired. I'm just saying…

Your version of Beejive looks very different from mine. I’m guessing you’ve got some jailbroken winterboard theme?
