At last, a real IRC client for S60 3rd Edition
Published by Asri al-Baker at 9:07 UTC, March 21st 2007
Remember how IRC was used before the all these Instant Messaging (ICQ, AOL, MSN, YM GTalk) clients? There was software for earlier S60 called Wireless IRC but it seems to be dead now. S60 3rd Edition users can now use mIRGGI, the first native IRC client. It's still in early beta but it does the job pretty well.
The current version is 0.02 beta. It contains the following functionality:
- connecting to one server
- joining channels
- query windows for private chatting
- 10k per channel/query backlog
- jumping to desired window with numpad
- ident daemon
- UTF-8 decoding
- T9 can be used
- usually needed commands implemented
- the font is small and nice (at least on tested devices)
- the memory requirements should be very small
- settings for autojoin and autoquery on connection
- will not be bloated with unneeded themes, skins, scripts, now playing -crap etc

This looks interesting. It would probably be tedious to write much without a bluetooth keyboard, but you can still follow the conversations. Adds one more thing you can do with your phone to keep yourself occupied while on the bus, train, in a queue, etc.

great program, I used Wireless IRC alot when I had my Nokia 3650, was using jmirc on my Nokia N80 and not happy with it. Text entry is not too difficult, but where there's a will.....I'm addicted to IRC =)

What an excellent program, it 99% works just cant send the text :(
and the chat does not update.. shame will still keep trying, don't give up on this app
its well appreciated you'd be surprised how many people still use irc and young people,
its not a CPU heavy and logs in incredibly fast through my wireless network, and is very small in size.
