About the repeater issue, my provider has been blocking ports aside from HTTP (if your not a partner service provider). Therefore most mobile IM uses polling method which allows the client to connect in asynchronous mode via HTTP. Another interesting developement is that Telcos are cutting down services that offers IM to SMS while mobile IM's GPRS rates has been increased; this decision were recommended by the Revenue Assurance department after finding out that Telcos has been losing revenue in International SMS because of IM to SMS and mobile IM service.

I have it on my cell phone, and haven't had any problem with it on my Nokia E90 besides the switching between horizontal plane and vertical plane with the flip open keypad. It only supports, gtalk, msn and skype, but that's perfect for me, as that more than I need. Have you tried Fring.
