Hey guys..

I don't do a lot of IMing on my phone... but when I do, I could have a nice conversation with consistent back and forth IMing for a good 10 - 15 minutes.

I've tried AOL's AIM android app, and meebo.. with pretty much the same result.

Insanely quick battery drain...

Could anyone recommend a better IMing app (which supports AIM) that isn't too heavy on the battery?

I'm hoping theres some app that could some how handle the data usage load better than the aforementioned apps.

I must say even when I'm not on the mobile network, and on WiFi at home or school the battery drains way too quick for my taste.

Anyway.. thanks in advance. :)
