Windows Phone Thoughts: IM+ all-in-one Messenger now the one-for-all

"If you're among the IM+ users who purchased the app back when it was released with a price tag of $9.99, you were kicking yourself at the price drop to $4.99 that came soon after. Now prepare to kick yourself on another part of your body as SHAPE Services has just brought in a free(ad-supported) version of IM+."

I have been using IM+ from SHAPE Services GmbH since first purchasing it for my Omnia II back in late 2009 and then as soon as they released the Windows Phone 7 version for my Samsung Focus, and more recently, HTC Mozart. Like many others, I was happy to spring the dollars for it, due in large part to the fact it covered all the IM services that friends, family & I use. Moreover, it performs very well I might add! Well now, a new version is here for Windows Phone 7, and Shape Services the developer, is busting out a free for all ad-supported version. Therefore, now there are no excuses, this should be part of your social communications arsenal.
