No wonder my insurance company wants to raise my premiums by another £25 a month, even after being a customer for 3 years and having no claims! angry Lame, real lame.

Phone is sweet but I don’t think I can survive with only a soft keyboard so I’ll keep my G1 on me for now… Also, AndChat really flies on the N1 compared to the G1. Looking forward to solving the problems specific to 2.1 that I’ve never been able to reproduce on the emulator but users keep contacting me about.

If you haven’t got a Google Checkout account or credit card, you can make a donation via PayPal.

For anyone curious/worried, the free version is not a ‘lite’ or ‘trial’ version, the only difference between the 2 is the ‘About’ screen. AndChat will always be free but a contribution is always appreciated.
