More Yahoo reviews , RRP: TBA

The good:

  • Offers paid outbound and inbound telephone calls in addition to free voice and video chat
  • Free avatars
  • Creative third-party plug-ins

The bad:

  • Lacks the synchronised file sharing of Windows Live Messenge
  • Ads appear within interface

The bottomline:
