I’ve tried a few IM options for iPhone and the one I like the most is beejive. Very well optimized for iPhone web2.0 app.
unlike meebo you can set session timeout and stay connected even when browsing other websites or apps on your phone, tweak various settings to your appeal. it saves your login info on your phone and sends it to their server via ssl.

navigate your safari to http://iphone.beejive.com
and it’ll bring you to this screen:

beejive for iphone home page

NB: First time visit it may show a “Get Started” button.

tap on the “+” sign next to accounts and it’ll take you to this screen :

beejive for iphone add account page

from here you can tap on the network and it’ll pull the list of networks available for you to log into: AIM/.Mac; Google Talk; ICQ; Jabber; MySpace; Windows Live (MSN); Yahoo!
Fill in your username abd password, then choose a Login As status, select wether to save the account and tap Add at the top right. It’ll attempt to connect to verify your account and will add it upon successful login.

You can add this way all accounts you have and connect to whichever you want or to all of them at the same time.

Tap on the “wheel” at top right to adjust your Settings where you can customize the look and feel that you prefer. You can select a theme, adjust Buddy Settings, Chat Settings etc.

The install process is more than easy once you have Installer.app (you can see how to install it from the link above)

  • Open Installer icon on your iPhone.
  • Navigate to Community Source and install it, of course if you have it already installed skip that step.
  • You gonna see that now you have a lot more applications available through Installer.app.
  • Navigate to KB.app and install it.
  • You are ready to go.

Now you can Enable or Disable the Autocorrection by the new option available in Setting >> General >> Keyboard.

AppTapp (a.k.a. Installer.app ) is available for Windows PC and Mac’s. You can download the latest version from their official site http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/, if you are developer, you can also find very interesting information.

You can use this application for two common things:

  • Jailbreak iPhone
  • Install additional 3rd party apps directly from your iPhone

Both of them are very important for the modding of your iPhone further. Basically you need to jailbreak your phone in order to install any kind of 3rd party apps(like AppTapp).

The installer first jailbreakes your iPhone and after that installs AppTapp. Bellow are basic instructions on how to do that:

  1. Go to http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/ and download the latest version of AppTapp
  2. Open the downloaded file and select your firmware model
  3. Installer downloads the required files and will start the jailbreak process
  4. Installer may ask you to stop the iTunesHelper proccess if it’s running. You can do that via Task Manager in Windows
  5. You need to restart your iPhone
  6. You have jailbreaked your iPhone with your first and greatest app - Installer.app

This is very easy as you can see from my movie :

you can actually tweak in in any language you want.

  • You need to have installer.app

on your iPhone’s Safari navigate to http://www.russianiphone.ru/beta/en/

  • At the prompt for the source to be added - accept (select Yes)
  • after it’s done it’ll land in installer - tap Sources then tap Refresh and from uncategorized it’ll show the new source under Localization
  • tap back into Install - now you have a new category Localization
  • install Mobile Enhancer - ignore the warning and accept, restart your iPhone
  • after restart install the desired keyboard layout through the installer - Russian or Bulgarian, French Azerty (adapted from Slava’s Russian one thanks to Nasko)
  • install Kb under tweaks in installer so you can turn off auto correction
  • ta-daa that’s it =)

Optional

  • if you use Russian or Bulgarian - install Cyrillic System Fonts so you can have Cyrillic song titles/artists or have contacts in Cyrillic. (in All Contacts the Cyrillic ones show under 123/# for now) thanks to ­­­Cyril Murzin
  • install MarketFelt font - modified to include Cyrillic letters so the font style in Notes looks like the original
    on your iPhone’s Safari navigate to http://www.russianiphone.ru/beta/ tap refresh;
    you have now category Русификация - in there you’ll find MarketFelt.
