Remember what the makers of Kik Messenger promised? The app will be available in the Marketplace "by the end of this month". They promised, now they have delivered. You can now find Kik in the Marketplace, under "Social" category to be exact. It's sitting right next to the shiny new Gowalla client. You won't possibly miss it.
As to how it works, I'd say so far it's great. The app runs zapping fast, and makes great use of WP7's panorama UI. Panning and scrolling feel utterly smooth. What's more important is that notifications work perfectly in Kik. It's live tile responses well, and the toast notification works exactly like how it should be. Incoming message triggers your ringtone (or viberation), and even wakes up the phone.
