Hello all,

Wife and I are looking at getting a 755p and a Centro from Verizon with an unlimited text messaging plan.

It seems the Verizon PalmOS phones do not have an AIM app. After doing some searching and calling around I found the mobile.aol.com site which talks about AIM txt and IM 2 SMS.. which works.

I was "told" there might be a PalmOS app that would act like an AIM/YIM app.. buddy list, status, etc.. But I have yet to find one - they all seem to use a 'Data Connection'.

Searching on forums for the terms "AIM" or "SMS" or "AIM SMS" is 'too short' and never gets any results, so I can not imagine that I am the first.. If this is a common answer I could not find it.

Thanks in advance.

(Not a single VZ rep was in favor of a Palm device.. I had to ask several times for an answer to my question: "How do I do AIM on the 755p or Centro?" I can not accept an answer that includes the words "Blackberry".. :P )
