Creating a mobile chat application using a phone game is the best strategy?

Question

Am I creating a timer that makes ajax requests every time to check for new messages? It looks like it will be a huge phone leak.

What would be the best way to create a simple PhoneGap instant messenger / chat application?

Is HTTP flow a flexible strategy for mobile? What if the connection is interrupted? Does it work on 3G?

Obviously, this is a big question, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
