I have fring... I actually have a very old account on Fring, created when they were a very small company. I will try Nimbuzz.

I don't use MSN much. Fring can do it. Looks like there is a good selection of apps. Id be guided by the number of stars and the comments left.

Im using Meebo. Keen to try others though. I wish the android client was given as much attention as the iPhone one.

Thats exactly what I did. I had a friend call me. I didnt try to make an outgoing call though but the Echo123 worked to start with so I assume that works as well. I am not a big skype user so didnt try it over the weekend.

Its easy to set up, give it a go.

I used to use iOS and found eBuddy to be the best on that platform. I picked up the Android version on day one of getting my Nexus and haven't had any problems with it.

The catch is that you need to create an eBuddy account and provide your MSN login details so there's an element of trust required there.
