There are not many at all unfortunately.  Agile Messenger was fairly
nice, but for some unknown reason (we discussed it here), they dropped
Jabber support in their latest builds.  I actually complained but
never heard back from them.

There's TipicME, but i haven't been able to get it to work:

Jabber Corp (jabber.com) has one in beta but frankly I wasn't really
impressed with it and it just plain doesn't work in Windows Mobile 5.

Another person mentioned imov and while their product looks nice, it's
not free and therefore I won't use it.  :)

Just different versions of the same thing.  MSFT apparently likes to
confuse their customers and developers by renaming the product every
other version.  See this page for details:
