Is using NodeJS in Android app (HTML5 JavaScript PhoneGap) a good decision?

I want to build a WebSocket based chat application. I am trying to develop this application for Smart Phones with the help of HTML5, JavaScript, Websockets, like GTalk and using PhoneGap for binding it for Smart Phones. Is it a good idea to make it with NodeJS? WHat will be pros and cons of using Node?
