Verichat combines AOL, MSN, ICQ and Yahoo! messenger for your internet enabled Palm device. I use it on my Kyocera 7135 and it is amazing. Even keeps you online when you disconnect from the internet and gateways your incoming messages to SMS if you prefer, and allows for auto-responses when you're offline as well.
I just recieved my 7135 smartphone, and oh baby is it sweet. Only a little bigger than a Motorola StarTac too. 65k color screen, Palm OS 4.1. What's interesting is the phone itself is a palm application - if a call comes in while you're firing off an e-mail or playing Lemmings, it'll pause that app so you can take the call. Even upload MP3s as ringers;)
Supports the standard Palm OS TCP/IP stack over 1xRTT. You can do whatever you want. SMS, MMS (Soon) WAP or open up the included browser and surf with full HTML/SSL/Javascript support. Renders most pages extremely well. There is a bevy of networking apps available for PalmOS as well - from VNC to MSN Messenger.
- Screen is crisp and clear, even in direct sunlight
- Very annoying delay when pressing buttons to dial a number - easily fixed by reconfiguring the touchtone sound to the standard palm "click" sound. (they should really fix this with the next software update)
- New 1GB SD cards are on the way; Throw a couple of Family Guy episodes on it! (Ahem or whatever "cultural" videos you want)
- This thing is solid. Very sturdy construction and a polished insignia on the outer case just below the external caller ID display on the hinge area
- The external speaker is very high quality. Ringers and MP3's sound very crisp, almost stereo-like. Surprises the hell out of people:)
- Coolest thing I've done so far: Reconfigured the company mail server via SSH over 1xRTT;) I gotta buy the little keyboard I guess.

Well actually Kyocera has done a decent job of this. I just recieved my 7135 smartphone, and oh baby is it sweet. Only a little bigger than a Motorola StarTac too. 65k color screen, Palm OS 4.1.
