Alex, The best way to describe your BN (as I've found out) is by saying that your BN is a PDA. My dream told me that the item will be called Instant Messenger. According to Paul, it was named KeyChat menu. Yes, text messaging is supported, but I believe it won't be supporting VOIP (Voice Over IP) due to the amount of RAM and processor power this particular feature will use.

I put most of the class to sleep as I talked for twenty minutes, just scratching the surface of the BN. But here goes: >From Main Menu, press I. KeySoft prompts: "KeyWeb Menu". You now have two options: Web Browser (which works like the Internet option from the Main Menu in previous KeySoft versions) or Instant Messenger. The KeyChat menu looks like this: Send a message (select a contact and write your message. You can type back and forth and even add more people to the conversation, or include them if they IM you while you are chatting to someone else). Manage Contacts: your KeyChat contacts are stored in your address list, so you can just add a screen name to the entry of anyone you already have saved. You can also enter a common name into the "Group" field. Select a contact by any of the fields in the Address List. Multiple selections are supported (you can select everyone in the "family" group, for example.) Start a voice chat (v): as implied, this allows you to select a contact and chat using the BN's built-in microphone or an external one. File Transfer: send a file or group of files to a contact, whether the one(s) to whom you are currently talking or to another. Contact Status: see all your contacts in a list with their statuses. Pressing ENTER on a contact will run whichever option you define in the KeyChat options, or you can select from a list of options by pressing BACKSPACE+O. OptionsSet up Options (o): common to all KeySoft applications, this submenu allows you to set up things like your screenname, your name as it appears to those with whom you chat, whethere the microphone remains on or if it only activates when the Record button is held in, how messages are handled outside of KeyChat, and so on. There, my basic idea. It needs refining, but it seems as though it would work. Some issues, such as the hotkey, would need to be worked out, though. Also, it would be great if a program like Miranda IM were implemented, allowing access to multiple chat clients--AOL, MSN, Skype, and the others that I cannot think of.
