RIM has created an Internet Messaging portal page for BlackBerry users. It provides a one-stop 'shop' of sorts that allows you to check out the latest IM software available for the Berry... and you can download each app too.
Currently offered are: AIM, Windows Live Messenger, ICQ, Yahoo! Instant Messenger and Google Talk.
At any rate, you may want to check this out on your browser, so punch this location into your Berry: http://www.blackberry.com/instantmessaging/
We've read numerous occurences of these apps not working with certain carriers or device models. Join the discussion on these IM's (and add your two cents) here.

Internet Messaging 'Hub' for BlackBerry Users
Hi guys i tried it on my curve 8320 and it did not work.
It appears that the only IM programs my 8100 pearl supports is Yahoo and Google Talk.
My operator is bloking the messenger aplication, why? because microsoft receivable some money to activate the service whith my operator (movistar chile). to bad.
So could this webpage be anymore unfriendly. Can't install WLM at all....or even et close.
Hi. Tried to donload the ICQ-messanger. It did not work, because an internal server error. What a shame.
