After the most recent BlackBerry Messenger version upgrade, we want to see how the other instant messaging applications were doing with downloads, ratings, reviews, etc. While BlackBerry Messenger is currently the most popular and in my opinion the best, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk remain favorites of many users. Though AOL IM has its fans, it’s lagging behind the competition. Let’s take a peak at BlackBerry’s best Free Instant Messaging Apps.
