Back in my old Treo days, I was able to communicate with directly with Yahoo Messenger <\/strong>by way of SMS — there were special short codes for all my correspondents, etc.<\/p>\n

Problem is, those don’t seem to work from SMS with my Blackberry.  Nor does the spiffy RIM Blackberry Yahoo client work (it explicitly is not <\/em>currently supported on AT&T\/Cingular networks).  There is a web-based client — but I really don’t want to be hanging out in the browser on my phone.<\/p>\n

Of the SMS\/Text Messaging-based stuff, I can find not a word on the US Yahoo sites.  It’s as if the technology was removed coincident to my getting the BB.  I do find stuff on Yahoo sites elsewhere in the world, but the codes, don’t seem to work.<\/p>\n

Now, on the other hand, the Google Talk <\/strong>client works like a champ — autoconnects just fine, receives messages integrated into the Blackberry’s messaging system, etc.  It’s super-spiffy.<\/p>\n
