IRC on My Nokia 6600...

This morning i was trying some programs for my Nokia 6600, and i've discovered that Wireless IRC 1.80 is totally compatible with the Symbian OS 7 (the previous version of Wireless IRC doesn't work on this phone).

It's a nice tool, with interesting features like:

    		• DCC file receive & send (requires a DCC relay proxy)
    		• Basic IRC commands available through menus
    		• Separate window per channel
    		• Notification-"bubble" keeps you updated when WirelessIRC is in background
    		• Simple file-browser
    		• Monitor consumed traffic (real GPRS data counter)
    		• Status window with network info (IRC & GSM LAC/CellID)
    		• Audio notifications for different events (messages, going online/offline, ...)
    		• Fullscreen-mode
    		• Charset mappings + custom charsets (ISO-8859-x, Win125x, KOI8-R ...)
    		• Supports IRC color codes and text-formatting
    		• SSL for secure connections to certain IRC servers

    • Auto-backlight, history for input field (10 lines), ...

     

    It seems to work good... I've tried to connect at the Azzurra IRC Server (irc.azzurra.net) and the connection was OK... I've only tried to send messages, but not DCC session (maybe I'll do it soon).

    I think however that the best Instant Messaging tool for this phone is Agile Messenger, that is completely FREE and supports instant messaging services such as ICQ®, AOL®, Yahoo!® and MSN® very well.

    If you have a Nokia 6600, you have to install it absolutely!!!
