As we head into the weekend, Friday's DoD is definitely one to be aware of. From ShapeServices, IM+ All-in-One Messenger is on sale for 50% off! That's $19.97 vs. its regular $39.95 price. IM+ integrates pretty much every popular instant messaging service (now including twitter support) into one feature-rich BlackBerry application. Some great new features were added recently (speech recognition!) so be sure to jump on over to the product page and read the description for all the details and check out the customer reviews. A free trial is available, so you can quickly give it a go. If you like what you see, you have until midnight tonight to pick it up for half price!

What are people thinking?
aimetti Aug 7, 2009 at 8:05 am
ehh , if it was 5 bucks i might think about it but thats still crazy
DravenX Aug 7, 2009 at 8:24 am
Yeah $20 just for a all-in-one IM client? Please, 50% off is still too much.
wlt4 Aug 7, 2009 at 8:57 am
For whatever reason it is not letting me buy this as 50% off...anyone having problems with this?
ikaiyoo Aug 7, 2009 at 9:10 am
I too am having the same problem. 50% off isnt applying I was looking for a discount code to apply to the purchase.
Prey521 Aug 7, 2009 at 9:01 am
Or any other paid multi protocal IM client when Instango is free and just as feature packed!! Save your money! $20 lmao
Syros Aug 7, 2009 at 9:20 am
20$ for an IM app, that's too much, just wonder why all these IM apps under BB are so pricey...
just found out that IM+ all in one Messenger for iPhone is 4.99$ today(regular price 10.99$) lol
aimetti Aug 7, 2009 at 9:29 am
lol 4.99 for iphone , 19.99 for bb. that makes alot of sense.
geminidad Aug 7, 2009 at 9:49 am
OMG!! Now it's the same price as BeeJive lol please.
jtwebfusion Aug 7, 2009 at 9:58 am
Why does it say storm edition when I view the deal at the store? Is this deal only for the Storm? I have the Bold. "IM+ All-in-One Messenger Storm Edition"
mookish Aug 7, 2009 at 10:00 am
I was waiting for this app to go from outrageously priced to ridiculously priced so I can ditch the native FREE rim im apps that work just as good as this if not better! Yeah right.
Can someone, anyone please teach these guys some simple math. Id rather sell 10,000 copies of an app for $1.99 then have is sit there, stale at $40 freaking bucks. considering the competition that either free or much lower cost.
These are used car tactics, overprice the app, then cut the price so we think we're getting a super deal. No thanks.
AgentScribe Aug 7, 2009 at 10:03 am
Seeing it as "Storm Edition" and not as 50% off. Then, seeing it on iPhone for a 1/4 of our bargain price? I'll wait.

Please bring back Quick Launch for Dod
wlt4 Aug 7, 2009 at 11:18 am
anyone able to purchase this app for $20 with the app store?
IceTrace Aug 7, 2009 at 12:09 pm
I've purchased it for 20 bucks already..
wlt4 Aug 7, 2009 at 12:25 pm
how was you able to purchase it...or how do you purchase it?
IceTrace Aug 7, 2009 at 12:30 pm
Damn, i purchased it for 4.6os edition, but it shows storm edition..... what the hell is going on? btw I purchased it on MobiHand
xdre Aug 7, 2009 at 12:13 pm
Is it because devs think that BB users are more likely to expense it?
dumb4ever Aug 7, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Still cannot add to cart for OS 4.7 Trackball. It works for Storm.
Cosmo_Girl Aug 7, 2009 at 1:39 pm
I was waiting for it to be discounted....Thank you!
mobihand-david Aug 7, 2009 at 1:55 pm
The issue has been fixed. The developer made changes to the IM+ product entry during this promotion (some hours ago), which caused conflicts with the Deal-of-the-Day logic.
Now purchase is working fine - you can select your device, and purchase at the DoD discount. If you have purchased today and got the incorrect version, please contact customersupport@mobihand.com.
We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
wcmarchese Aug 7, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Sorry, but this is garbage. The voice type feature doesn't work, and it thinks my Tour is a Storm.
The icons are small, and nothing like Bejive. At least Bejive looks like the naitive Blackberry IM apps. Also, there is no icon tolet you know you have a new IM. And the intervace is garbage, as well.
I'm sorry, but 20dollars for this is rediculous.
If Bejive was 20 for full licence, from phone to phone, then i'd get that, but 30 to swap phones is rediculous too.
With the Tour now, I can keep all the IM clients becuase I got TONS OF APP SPACE!!!

If we weren't able to con you into paying $40 for a $3 product, maybe you'll now pay $20 for it! I think I'll wait for a decent DoD.
The Consigliere Aug 7, 2009 at 6:02 pm
WHY exactly would I need this? I have Googletalk, which is the only chat I use, so what the purpose of me spending money on an "inclusive" chat app? Not being mean or anything, just asking a question.
bx2md Aug 7, 2009 at 10:22 pm
does this dod version work on the tour ?
digitalb0y Aug 8, 2009 at 6:47 am
Now instead of being a completely insane ripoff, it's only a substantial ripoff. Instangp, eBuddy and Palringo are all free, kids. So are the individual chat clients if you don't want the all-in-one. Instango would actually be my favorite of all the ones I've tried, ignoring price entirely. More power to these guys if they can sell their product at this figure, but I think even half of is a bit ridiculous.
threedeckstew Aug 10, 2009 at 8:27 am
i downloaded the trial and there is no way it is worth $19 never mind $40!! get palringo FOR FREE much better!
