When I first reviewed Trillian for iPhone, it showed promise, but it wasn't quite ready for the bigtime yet. I had a couple of minor issues with the 1.0 release, including a lack of landscape mode and making it too much of a pain to close a chat. Well, Trillian has fixed both of those issues, and much, MUCH more in the new version 1.1.
Trillian now supports Facebook Chat, allows you to stay signed in for up to 7 days, and includes a bunch of other tiny improvements that I can't help but appreciate. Ignoring AOLSystemMsg when you're signed into AIM twice? Thank you! New sorting options for contacts (by status or by name, with groups or without)? Aw, yeah! I'm now considering making Trillian my main IM app, displacing BeejiveIM. The two are basically neck-and-neck in usability, but Trillian wins on price if you don't have either app yet: it's $4.99, compared to $9.99 for BeeJive.
Awesome new version of Trillian might be the best iPhone chat app
