I loved the simplicity of it. It did one thing, and did it well enough.
They had an early mobile app (BREW I think), but it was pretty awful.
I think SMS gaining popularity killed it, and they were too early for the "What's App" era that ultimately killed SMS in a lot of places.
Lol there was definitely an AIM mobile app for flip phones that I installed soon after getting a flip phone like freshman year of high school and then my parents realizing the bill I had unknowingly built up
I remember selecting a pre-android phone specifically because it had a physical keyboard and supported AIM.
