Check this out, I know everone has this problem "You must have a network connection to access the AIM network" so I called Tmobile to ask about this issue and the tech said, The AIM app provided at the App store has settings to work with the AT&T network only. He said I need to get an AIM app that doesn't go through those settings, this makes sense since my wife has an Iphone 2g on 1.1.4 using Fring and Agile with no problem. I have an Iphone 2g with 2.1 I am not a coder or developer so I have no Idea how to do this. Can someone please hook it up and put it up on CYDIA? thanks

Is anyone going to respond? or just look at it and ignore the problem? reminds me of this Sub prime mortgage problem we have! lol

search app store for IM
there are IM+ and Palingo or something like that which are for free

if u need a FREE app store account i saw this thread
