It's back, it's compatible and it's polished. Ewan reviews WirelessIRC, the ultimate chat application now available for all S60 3rd Edition smartphones. IRC may be geeky, but there are still a lot of users out there and this app looks like it could extend their conversations for another few years.

Read on in the full article.

I wonder if this works with a bluetooth keyboard? That would certainly make the chats a lot easier to keep up with...

Bluetooth keyboard should work for any filed in which you enter text.

hope they will implement DCC in a later version. It was great, snapping a pic with my 7650, then instantly sending it to my firends =)

Forwarded from use phonophiliac:

A couple of extras in this app that I’d like to address are posting to del.icio.us and the twitter integration...

By following tweets from sites like AAS, NY Times, ESPN, etc., you can do some nice reading during your down times... For an example of using twitter and del.icio.us posting, as an online link aggregator, check out my del.icio.us account at http://del.icio.us/phonophiliac

With regard to Twitter, it seamlessly posts action commands, keeping your twitter feed up to date all the time... You can check out my oft updated twitter feed here, which is constantly updated, because I am constantly using WirelessIRC http://twitter.com/phono

Further, Janole (the WIRC developer) is working on a very nice update for the just-released app... The update (from what I understand) will have further twitter integration, where your twitter account will appear as its own separate window (with very nice animations and a stylized user interface). I don't know when the new version will be released publicly, but I hear it's extremely soon and extremely nice

Finally, you can use the WirelessIRC as an IM Cient! YES IRC and IM Client in the same damned app! There is a little known IRC to IM interface/server called Bitlbee http://www.bitlbee.org

With im.bitlbee.org setup as a server, you can add all your AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN and Yahoo buddies for direct chat... They show up in the nicks window when they're online, and a /msg command, will start a chat with any of your friends online... It is the ultimate web2.0 internet communication app on the S60 3rd edition market... Period!

Sorry this is so long, but there are so many things you can do with WirelessIRC, and it so well written and powerful, I feel that there just can't be enough good press for this superwickedkiller app!

Best Regards,

wirelessIRC good app soo good app. but please add Turkish charset (windows 1254) please

WirelessIRC is a nice app, but I think that being able to click on URLs and having notifications of incoming or new "tweets" are basic features for any Twitter client and they're not present.
