Its pretty bad, although it seems to do a good job of staying connected when u leave the screen. Funny how web 2.0 chat apps were better than this or Apollo a few days after launch, and still are.
 
flickIM keeps you logged on, but last time i checked, can't check away messages without IMing somebody, only works with AIM, and can't put up your own away message
 
Flick IM texts you when someone messages you (keeps you logged in on their server, not on your phone).

I want a native app that just works like a computer chat program, and apollo is currently the best option...

They have a new version coming out soon, cant wait!
