Help Alternative Instant Messaging App?

Ok so I was a huge advocate for ebuddy, but the app doesn't support Froyo, and I'm using a 2.2 rom. So, I'm hoping one of you can recommend an instant messaging app to try out.

I've tried a few and can't find one I like.

ebuddy: No froyo support
Meebo: Blows. Constant disconnects.
IM+: No longer supported

What I need:
1. AIM, Facebook, GChat, MSN
2. Remain signed in 24/7
3. Froyo support

Any suggestions?
 
Out of current apps, I haven't found any to be fond of.

However, I am waiting for Trillian to finish their Android App. I've been using it on my PC for years and was sad when they first said they weren't going to make one. But they gave in to their PC users with Android phones and are finally working on one.

This is what they currently support platform wise: (sorry for the weird spaces: copy/paste)

Edit: Oh and while it says windows only for FB chat, it looks like the Android App will do it.

Yeah. Trillian and Digsby are both products I've used on my PC, and both of them are working on android apps. I'm just looking for something to hold me over until then.

I really liked ebuddy, but it causes my phone to reboot with froyo.
 
Yeah. Seems to be the case. I sent ebuddy feedback an e-mail. We'll see what kind of response I get. I just don't want to go back to Meebo. That application is just garbage.
