Hi. My opinion is 100% biased here because I never use Facebook, but live on LinkedIn for work. I found a messenger, that not one of my contacts uses, but it was by far the best way to see who all of your contacts are....I have around 1k. It blew away anything native LinkedIn has on desktop or mobile. When a friend finally accepted the request so I could use it, its functionality was the same as What's App....big fan

The Messenger app does pretty much what you’d expect: it allows you to chat with your Yahoo!/MSN friends, and can run in the background (with push notifications) for that always-on availability. If you live in Canada, Indonesia, India, Kuwait, Malaysia, Philippines, Pakistan, Thailand, United States, or Vietnam, you can also use the app to send SMS to friends, which will appear in the current conversation. Oh, and it supports emoticons, because it ain’t IM without emoticons.
The Mail app is also a no-brainer, and allows you to check, search, organise, and send mail from your Yahoo! email account, as well as download/upload attachments. It can use both your Yahoo! address book, as well as the one on your phone, so you should be able to find the email address you need. And, like the Messenger app, it also supports push notifications and emoticons.

+1 I want to know it too
I'll be installing this shortly to check it out and see how it works..
I figured they'd be working on this when I saw Yahoo! News pop up on the Market as well.
Seriously? yahoo?
Who in the world would use yahoo when there's gmail?
Yuck.
Yeah I used this app when I was on Blackberry and it's one of the reason I went Android...Yahoo and Yahoo messenger suck. I don't even think any of my friends use it anymore.
i mostly use gmail, but i still have my old yahoo account. the yahoo email app is very nice though! i like it!
I have tons of friends who use yahoo and wont switch over to Gmail. A lot of them have android phones and still use yahoo for there main mail service. So having an official app is great for me and them. Not everyone love's gmail.
Yahoo messenger doesnt sent & receive fast as yahoo messenger version pc hope the yahoo team can fix it in next version...

Looks good and works better than stock email app. Hopefully it doesn't drain my battery. Does anyone know what is the refresh rate?
Too bad Yahoo doesn't give two ****s about their paying small business customers.
=/
leyvatro: It's push based, not polled based, there is no refresh rate.

And you know why they won't switch over to yahoo? Cause yahoo charges a fee for pop3/imap access. Which is about as dumb as charging for sand in the desert. Otherwise they'd just set up gmail to grab mail from yahoo and they'd be good to go.
Preferring yahoo over gmail is like preferring old mechanic typewriters over PCs and printers.

These are not "tech" people like most of us here. These are casual users who don't wanna start over with a new email address. They don't even know what pop3/imap is and really don't care to know. They just want a simple way to use there yahoo services on there phone.
I think sometimes we lose site that not every android user is like us. Matter of fact I would guess that people like us who know the true power of android and the real advantages gmail has over yahoo and other services are less than 5% of all android users.
Thanks for the post
Gonna check this out soon
still waiting for a proper non disconnecting windows live messenger client
as the question says which is the best one in the market?
i have seen a lot of them like whatsapp, liveprofile, textplus, kik messenger, and google talk
which one do you think is the best, as blackberrys have their own messenger we android user could use the one only application for all android users
because almost all of my friends use blackberys even knowing blackberry phones sucks but they use them just because of the "free sms"
and when i try to convince them to use android they just say no, and i cannot text to them for free because they also get lazy to download any other application
I know some of you are in the same situation as i am
Get unlimited text messaging?

Google+ Huddle is pretty neat and seems to be an answer to BBM by introducing a 'group chat' instant messenger for anyone who associates their Gmail with the social media website.
In the future, I think Google+ Huddle is going to try to take place of BBM-type communication on Android, but since not everyone is on G+, it'll take awhile to develop.
In the meantime, I use trillian for instant messaging - though I don't use it as an "always accepting IMs in the background application." Google Talk is the easiest program to accomplish this for novice users.
Whatsapp
Whatsapp works pretty well I use that and it works across all platforms
every one ive had drains battery like crazy...
well ive used liveprofile and is good but sometimes msgs doesnt arrive at time, kik messenger is the fastest i have used, and google talk is the one with comes by dfault and could be used as "like bbm" but atleast in mexico like 1 of 10 have Gmail account :/
Google Talk?

because is consumes a lot of battery...
my point is this.... for example if BB people uses BBM as their Free texting mode
we can use Google Talk as Our Free Texting Mode as it is running background always (well i dont know but i cannot logged out from google talk)
but not every person knew or know that, and i think it is almost the same thing, but with just giving your gmal acc instead of the PIN thing
Anybody know a good app for the facebook chat? Or just use the one through the Facebook App
facebook actually made a messanger app!
I haven't tried the Facebook chat app, but it could be great. I usually use either eBuddy or Imo Messenger, since they also support aim, Yahoo, etc.
Edit: I've never tried this, but doesn't the regular Facebook app do chat as well?
yeah the regulaur app has chat!
Is there any way to fix it without using third party apps?
Another one with the same problem. Even a third party app would be fine for me... Any suggestion?

Its not broken. The Official Facebook application doesn't support Android 4.0 just yet so you will not be able to sync your contacts to your device. The only method is to use third party applications. I use Friendcaster Pro and it works really well.
Unfortunately, Till Facebook adds compatibility to the official application... you will not see your contacts sync to your device
Nope, the issue is between Google and Facebook, so we won't see contact sync fixed until Google and Facebook make an agreement or until a custom ROM fixes is. I forget the whole story, but I think Facebook doesn't use Android's contact API so when you sync Facebook contacts with your phone they all stay with Facebook and aren't stored locally on the phone. If you uninstall Facebook all your Facebook contacts go to. Google doesn't like that FB doesn't let you control and keep your FB data on your phone so they revoked Facebooks access to the API.

You sorta proved my point. More or less its not compatibility with Android 4.0 but its the Nexus S. Once again Facebook will have to upgrade the application in order to make it compatible with the Nexus S. Only difference between what I said is instead of Android 4.0 its for the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus
Facebook contact data will continue to appear within the Facebook app. Like all developers on Android, Facebook is free to use the Android contacts API to truly integrate contacts on the device, which would allow users to have more control over their data.

Facebook never updated the app on Gingerbread. Facebook sync was included in custom ROMS because developers enabled it. Nothing to do with official support from Facebook. Until Google and Facebook sort this out, vanilla Android won't support contact sync, unless Facebook starts using the regular contact API
Friendcaster is not allowing me to login (whitepage)... Is it really compatible with ICS?

If you are OK with 3rd party apps, take a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20477937#post20477937
Hi there!
After trying some roms with HTC Sense on my nexus one, I think I am going back to CM7, but I will miss a lot the Sense Facebook sync.
It not only syncs the hi-res pics and makes them available to all the apps, it also syncs the phones of your facebook contacts that you don't have in your phone contact list, and also makes them available to other apps, so you can find your facebook friends in whatsapp and viber even if you don't have their phone.
There are any other application that does this?
I only found apps for syncing the pics, but not for the phone numbers.
Thanks! (and sorry for my English)

There is HaxSync, it does it's job perfectly. But it's for ICS only...
CM7 has Facebook sync built back into it, just need to install the Facebook app ;-)
Delivered by Western Union in the rain after 70 Years
can also use syncpix and ditch the official Fbook for friendcaster
use the "thanks" if I helped you at all

Does it syncs the phone numbers too? With Sense it does, and you have your facebook contacts in whatsapp even if you don't have their phone numbers.

I just tried that, and the Facebook app shows the phone numbers in the dialer, but doesn't share it with other applications like whatsapp or viber
