mIRGGI is the first IRC client for S60 3rd Edition devices. It is also available for 2nd 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.
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 by me on Nokia N93, E70, E61, N73, N95 and E60. Others have used it on almost every S60 3rd Edition device (N80, N73, E61i, E90 etc). 2nd edition version has been tested by me on 6260 and N70.


Changelog:
Just released version 0.55 (changed the versioning since 2nd ed phones don't show the third part of the version). It adds support to /quote command and also fixes the problem with the process hanging after exit. Thanks for the reports.
There are also some other minor changes but nothing noticeable. Those of you that only got the flash and mIRGGI didn't start, this version works better.

Also the volume keys scroll the screen, even while input box is open. This should work in all 2nd and 3rd ed devices that have dedicated volume keys. This is why the installer says it can read user data. It doesn't read anything else, only the button data. Don't understand why getting info about multimedia buttons is "reading user data"...

I bought WirelessIRC, I'll give it a try and see if it's any better. :)
