jmIRC – The best free JavaME IRC Client
If you are looking for a reliable and portable JavaME IRC client for your phone, then I would definitely recommend jmIRC for you as it is the most portable irc client for java-enabled phone. Compiled as an MIDP 1.0 midlet, jmIRC is supported on virtually any mobile phone that implements J2ME specification.
Unlike other irc midlet, jmIRC supports connecting to IRC through both raw sockets and HTTP proxy. This will ensure your connectivity to the irc even if you’re using mobile phones/telco which do not support direct socket connection.
