Hi there,
Is there a proper IRC app for Blackberry, even better if it uses BIS??!!! Any ideas?
 
JmIrc looks nice.. Very simple.. Just struggling to get it to connect through BIS. If i use the APN:internet it works, APN:blackberry.net gives dns error, and no apn also gives me: Error trying to connect to IRC server, aborting... Exception: Invalid url parameter.. Anyone got ideas?

Try finding a HTTP proxy to use with jmirc. Maybe that will work through BIS, I'm just guessing. :D
 
I tried a few http proxies, but keep getting dns errors now..
One question though, is IRC even allowed through BIS?

WLIrc 2 is the way to go for mobile J2ME based IRC. I remember using it years ago and it was fantastic.
 
I will give them a try, but non of those two have had any updates since 2004 and 2007..

Edit:
Installed WLIrc2 and its not working.. Try to connect and no go.. If you exit and try to log in again it gives an exception error and the application fails to launch..
Virca also not working..

Trust me you won't find a working jmirc working on APN:blackberry.net I've also been searching the web the last resort would be to use CGI irc whitch actually does work but thr UI is terrible - just give me time I am speaking with some contacts. I am assuming they are blocking the ports, also noticed throttle also blocked.

Only recommendation for now is wait for the APN JMIRC version to be out soon. There is another app called vmirc - you should try it out
 
Just installed chatmosphere and must say that I am rather...dissapointed.
The free version does not allow you to register your nick, or even start pm's.
WTF.
Uninstalled it very quickly.
