IM for Android

What Instant Messenger other than the Gtalk would you suggest for Android Phones. There are so many MSN's in the android market, I am not too sure which one to download.
Thanks
 
Trillian is a good chat application.

There is always AIM which can do both FB and AIM (although the new FB app allows chat now)

Kik emulates a BBM-like experience. You can only use it with other Kik users but it allows you too see when a message is sent, received, and read.

Nimbuzz is another
 
Thanks.
Yeah, I forgot to mention, I am looking for Free IM's.

Is there also an IM, with Voice/Talk facility?
 
I believe Nimbuzz does voice and messaging. I've never used it myself so I'm not 100% sure how it works
 
Edit: I just checked the Nimbuzz site, the voice facility is something like Skype. Its not a free service.

I was looking for the voice talk, like we have the voice talk on MSN, Gtalk etc from computer to computer through IM, I was looking for something like that on the Mobile. Mobile to Computer or Mobile to Mobile, but through IM.

Yahoo Messenger might suite you in that case: Yahoo! Messenger - Android app on AppBrain
You'll need this plug-in: http://www.appbrain.com/app/yahoo-messenger-plug-in/com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.imvideo
 
I have two paid multi IM apps but I still like the "official" provider free apps for some reason. Seems they have the real icons, pics and let you do more where some multi IM apps have a lot of providers but more limited in what they can do. I have the AOL AIM and Yahoo YIM official apps.

FWIW, I have yet to find anything that I would bet my life on for reliability and to always work and receive every single IM when its send.
