Well I can't get this silly thing to work, I am defiantly missing something on the iphone that's different to every other device.

Message was working fine for me up until today... ...I can still send messages to my GF on her iPhone 4 in Hawaii... ...And they show up on my iPhone 4 and iPad... ...But Facebook, Gmailchat, and the old iChat ID have stopped working... ...I can also still send messages to all my friends that have iPhones...

No biggie I guess...

Facebook uses jabber and it won't connect to the network. I"m not sure how Gmailchat connects, but I think it might be the same as Facebook and it also says it can't connect to the network. So none of my friends on those lists are showing up. And when I try to click the "Available" button for them it says it can't connect to the network and I get the little lighting bolt circle. The same is happening for my .mac / @me ID that was my old iChat list of friends.

But when I send anyone a text from my iPhone they get it and it shows up in Message. And I can still contact them via Message to their iPhones, and that message will show up on my iPhone, (and iPad).

Restarting the iMac seems to fix it... ...but if I go away and the iMac goes to sleep I'll need to restart again to get it working...

It will definitely improve. For a Beta my experience of it has been all good.
