HEllo,

I just bought the N800 and am quite pleased with it, however, I need a chat client. Preferably one that is multi-protocol. If anyone knows of one, free or not, please advise. Thanks in advance.

Been there done that but to be honest this site is not for the normal user. It is a developer site for developers.

The site is, but the new downloads catalog my link leads you to is very simple in my opinion. Did you try it?

What was hard about browsing the application categories there, or using the search box on the left?

Let me clarify a bit more. Sorry. I have a pretty decent understanding about computers and applications, however the community seems to be designed around people that are familiar with it and the set up of the N800. Anyway, someone on the site was nice enough to understand this and provided me with the help and info that I need to set up my device. Thanks for your "help".

Cheers.

Good that someone else was able to "help" you. I don't have an N800, so I was only able to point you to the place where you can find all the available N800 applications.

What client did you find. Please do tell!

I myself had issues getting information on this when I first got my tablet.

I've created a walkthrough to install GAIM Instant Messenger on the N800.
