Beejive is worth the $9.99

Sure, $9.99 does sound like a lot. Considering I don’t have a texting plan, I didn’t mind forking over the money. I was skeptical at first but it comes with a great variety of features.

• Connect to Facebook, MySpace, AIM, Yahoo, Hotmail, and more…
• Desktopish type of application – Comes will all types of features you’d expect out of a desktop application
• Apply themes to conversations and the application itself
• Push notifications alerting you of new messages
• No lag and minimal crashing
• Easy to switch over to conversations and preview last message your buddy sent
• Overall, feels slick and sexy. Even the icon looks good on my home bar
• Vertical and Horizontal typing. Your current typing in progress is displayed on a transparent bubble which optimizes your chatting viewing area.

So if you are looking for another instant messaging application on the iPhone/iPod Touch, try out Beejive. So far its been the best looking and working instant messaging application I’ve used.
