mIRGGI v0.4 S60v3
mIRGGI is the first IRC client for S60 3rd Edition devices. It is currently in early stages because I just began writing it on 10th of March. I've been meaning to do this for a long time but haven't gotten to it. I don't like the J2ME IRC clients (one big reason is that they suck up a lot of memory on S60) and I don't like using PuTTY, especially on devices without keyboard. Also their fonts are quite ugly (I like small vector fonts, as is obvious from this release :)
This is a hobby project and mainly targeted at my needs but I will try to find some relaxing time to enhance it. And especially the things that bother me personally will get fixed fast. There are most certainly some bugs but I have successfully used it for several hours at a time via GPRS without problems.
There will be also a version for 2nd Edition devices later on. mIRGGI has also been seen for a selected few as a terminal IRC client for Linux and Windows. Those versions haven't been updated for a loooong time and were never really released. I might do a version for Windows Mobile someday, too.
mIRGGI has been tested on Nokia N93, E70, E61, N73 and E60. It should work on any S60 3rd Edition device.

Changes in v0.4 version
copy/paste
T9 and channel activity won't mess up writing
/part or /leave without any parameters won't crash
When typing text and another window has activity, the window might change and typed text goes to wrong channel
When connecting with autojoin, screen flashes quite a bit
Input box height changes depending on the font size
Port number wasn't shown correctly in settings
Password wasn't always saved in settings
timestamps
