eBuddy is one of many options to get to the popular IM systems on your handset – and to have one application handling multiple systems. It’s been around in various forms since 2006. This Symbian version now complements the iOS and Android versions currently out there, and along with a web based version, eBuddy has an option for you to get to your IM friends and messages, no matter where you are. Onto the Symbian client. eBuddy runs in Java, and while that means a lot of people are just going to stop right there, I think that’s a mistake, as this is well coded, stable application that not only does what it says on the tin, but does it well. If you measure on results and not methods, then eBuddy is a winner.
