With the iPhone enabling me to use the Internet almost anywhere it was high time I selected an appropriate instant messaging solution for it as well.
After extensive analysis two criteria proved to be essential in selecting the right tools and services. One was for the iPhone application to support large numbers of contacts (300+ in my case) and the other was for the chat messages to be saved automatically in an online archive for later reference.
The winning app is called Agile Messenger (www.agilemobile.com). It can connect to several instant messaging services, including Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, and it's well adapted for use with the iPhone.
The winning service is Google Talk. In fact the only thing still missing from Google Talk is interconnectivity with the other major services. So, while they're probably working on this at Google as we speak ask me for my GTalk ID so that we may stay in contact wherever my iPhone gets Internet coverage.
