Well, yeah, it seems to be kinda a tradeoff. On the one hand, it logs on quickly and buddy lists work GREAT. --Unlike the psychotic buddy dance that happens in the stock client. But notifications are kinda pitiful on here. Yes, it notifies you in the bar, but it doesn't vibrate, flash, or make (an AUDIBLE) sound. I didn't think it made sound at all, but when I was testing it, I noticed it makes a crackly little "donk" sound when an IM comes. The ability to choose the tone it uses and vibrate would be nice, as well as when you get a new message, you should have a notification of that message in the pull-down shade. Right now, it does preview the text of the message in the bar, but when you pull down, it just says meebo is running, and you have to go into it and find who sent you a message to talk to them.

It looks like a really good start, but definitely a ground floor release. Hopefully they will very actively develop it. With a little work, it could definitely convince me to start using IMs on this phone.
