imo

imo is free a multi protocol instant messaging application. That's basically a fancy way of saying you can connect to multiple instant messaging services (including Steam) from this one app.

This is one of those apps that can save you some clutter. It supports all the major instant messaging protocols so if you're okay with using all in one applications you can potentially delete quite a few single use IM apps by switching over to this one.

There really isn't any way to argue with free either.

imo supports the following protocols:

• imo
• MSN
• Skype
• Yahoo!
• Google Talk
• Facebook
• AIM / ICQ
• Jabber
• VKontakte
• My Space
• Hyves
• Steam

And yes, once again, that last one was not a mistake. imo allows you to connect to Steam! That alone is a reason to have it on your device, providing of course you are an avid Steam gamer.

Now, this isn't a 100% perfect application. The interface is a bit clunky but you can adjust to it easy enough. It's also a cross platform IM client so you can use it on iPhone / iPad / Android / Blackberry / Nokia (Symbian).

Hopefully they will come out with a Windows Phone client at some point.

You can set it so that when you sign into one account, they all sign in. Something I like, but if you only want to sign into one specific network at a time you will want to leave that off.

Again, the things really like about this app is that it replaced my need to have MSN and Google Talk installed on my device. It also adds the ability to connect to Skype chat (sans video) but that again saves me from running Skype for no reason. Did I mention this works with Steam chat? Also, free.
