Opinions on Jott and Jive Talk for bb

Please, anyone who can advise me please do regarding these two apps.
Thanks!

Not familiar with Jott or even what it's supposed to do.
Jivetalk is the chat program that everyone, including myself, swears by.

Ok! I guess we can say that it is worth the money?

Definitely was for me and I do very little chatting. Also FYI, rcvd email 15% off all s/w until Apr 30 & Berryreview.com. Download free trial first tho. Coupon code BRSPRING.

That would be great if that worked for me too!
I appreciate this!
Do you know if the $20 is a one-time charge?

[sheldonbk]

I understand that the $20 version is definitely not a subscription product. It's a license which includes updates. It's only a license, though for a single Blackberry unit. The more expensive license allows you to move from one BB to another. It seems (from what I recall from blackberryforums.com) that Jivetalk is used by many BB people who have been BB owners for a long time... ie. they've upgraded BB's over and over. They must have influenced BeeJive since the more expensive license ($30) allows you to take Jivetalk with you when you upgrade BB's.

It's a chat program for the blackberry. It alows you to put int your ids from AIM, YAHOO MESSENGER, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, MSN, and MySpace IM all in one...and connect to them and chat with your buddies from all of them.
