(NOTE: this is part of the “Software I like” series)
First, welcome to the second series in the Tlog. 
Agile Messenger is, as the name implies, an Instant Messaging (IM) software for mobile phones. It supports MSN Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ and AOL Instant Messenger (no Jabber, though. :(). Very easy to use, with “helping” features so you can, in a short time, write almost as fast as you do with a real keyboard.
It has, both on my N-Gage and on my 6630, helped me through a lot of boring times, such as when dealing with Portuguese bureaucracy (that means waiting for hours and hours…). Yes, there are other ways to keep oneself entertained when you only have a cell phone (and maybe I’ll mention some of them in a future part of this series), but sometime you’re really not in the right frame of mind to read a book or play a game… but a quick conversation with a friend or two can be fun.
It can be left running in the background, so you are warned when you receive a new message, but can, meanwhile, use the phone for other things, or simply put it in your pocket.
It’s not free, though - it costs 3 euros a month, paid by premium SMSs. Or you can pay 20 euros and use it forever.
It has versions for Series 60 phones, Series 90, UIQ, PocketPC and Windows Smartphones.
Pros: works as advertised :), nice interface, easy to use, cheap, includes smileys, can also send and receive voice messages, can run in the background.
Cons: no Jabber :(, only one account per service (that is, you can’t connect to 2 MSN accounts simultaneously, for example).
