im Thanks to Shape Services we ran a great contest with over 300 submissions for their updated IM+ application. You can find the winners announced after the jump. IM+ lets you connect to multiple popular instant messaging networks at the same time from one application aggregating your contacts from Google Talk, AIM, Facebook, Skype and more. The app usually carries a hefty $39.95 price tag but until Nov 22nd it is on sale for $27.95 which is a pretty good deal.

In case you did not win you can pick up a copy of IM+ in the store for $27.95 at this link or check out all of Shape Services apps at this link.

Congrats to all the winners below! You should be contacted by Shape Services shortly! Don’t forget to thank them in the comments!

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    I’m curious, why this same app costs only $9.95 for other platforms like Symbian and iPhone?

      I agree with you on this one.
      I had IM+ back in the day before BeeJive when I beta tested for them and got a copy for free. Back then it was the only option for multi-client instant messaging.
      However, since BeeJive came out, I think it’s ridiculous that IM+ costs $40.00. The application is very sub-par compared to BeeJive as well.
      Shape just needs to be GIVING this application away at this point.

    Awesome! I won :) The e-mail I got said to go to wap.shapeservices.com from my phone, but I wasn’t sure if I should choose Buy or Try. I chose Buy, and it said my promo code was invalid, and also said the version I was trying to buy was for the Storm. I prefer OTA installs, so I figured I would just install the trial, and see if my promo code would work to register it afterwards. On first run, it said the app wanted to change permissions, so I clicked View. It attempts to set everything to Allow…everything. Is this abslutely necessary? I went through and set a lot of stuff to Deny, as I see no reason this app would need to Application Management, Themes, Input Simulation, etc, but I could just be paranoid.

    After all that, I did manage to get the trial working. Since I wasn’t all that impressed yet, I didn’t bother trying my promo code. I’m really only interested in FaceBook Chat, which I just found out BeeJive does as well (beta), so I’m going to try both trials and see which works better.

      Apparently the permissions thing is a no-no. It fails to start, telling me “Error occurred upon activation start. Please set up the permissions for proper work of the application (go to Options -> Advanced -> Applications -> IM+ -> Edit Permissions”. The only thing I can see on their site regarding what permissions are necessary is here (http://www.shapeservices.com/en/faq/sections/bb.php?page=troubleshooting#p5), which just says set everything to Allow (and to disable the device firewall…). I sent them a support request to see if they can explain why everything needs to be set to Allow…

        The email confirmation I received for this request was spoofed to look like I sent it! I like winning free software, but I’m starting to think maybe someone else might be happier with the code I received.

        I use the official Windows Live and Gtalk clients, and I really like how I can sign into GTalk on my laptop and phone at the same time. I only wish the Windows Live client was the same way. It turns out neither BeeJive nor IM+ fix this problem. Also, BeeJive doesn’t officially support FaceBook chat (a beta version does, but it has some bugs). In the end, I decided I didn’t really like either. So….who wants my free copy of IM+? I haven’t done anything with the e-mail, so I assume I can just pass it on to someone else…

      Irwan, please check your Junk Email folder(s). I received my e-mail Friday, only an hour and a half after this article was posted. The e-mail came from Vitaly Mikhalyuk (v.mikhalyuk@shapeservices.com).
