PLEASE REPLACE THE PREVIOUS POST WITH THIS ONE [I COULDN'T EDIT THAT ONE - error]
I use palringo just as light client of gadu-gadu service.
It is one of the fastest and easiest IM clients I've ever used [and I checked a lot]. It is so fast, that it sometimes displays unread messages without contact name [just id number], before downloading contact list from the server.. So I don't know who sent me a message.. And after downloading contact list I still don't know who was that [just numbers].. It is even impossible to check after client restart..
I suppose it would be a great option to upload contact list from a specified file [like 'gg-contacts.txt'] once and remember them and only if the file doesn't exist - download contact list from web.
.. because sometimes palringo is just too fast.
BTW: is palringo going to be a client for skype, as well? :)
greetings and thx for the best im-service ever! for pc and mobile :)
