Hi,
I've just got a T-Mobile MDA Pro, (HTC Universal) brand spanking new, lovely windows mobile 2005 o/s ........but no msn messenger??
I've had several Htc Windows based smartphones/Pda's all of which had it built in, but I can't find it anywhere.
Anyone know how to patch this up so I can continue to use messenger without giving my log in details to third party apps?
Thanks in advance
Its built into Pocket MSN (one of the today plugins)

I've just got the mda pro on tmobile on upgrade, silver verson, handset is excellent, but it doesnt seem to have any of the MSN apps pre-installed, like messenger, does anyone know where i can get these from?
Messenger can be bought from MS..
I preferr Agile Messenger myself..
Is this not suppose to be a default free application already installed?
T-Mobile made a deal with HTC to have MSN taken out, apparantly. I had an MDA Pro without MSN, and when I put on the Jasjar rom, I suddenly did have MSN
Right, so whats the difference between the tmobile ROM and the MDA rom? apart from the added MSN feature.
How do I flash my MDA with the Jasjar's rom?
Rather than risk flashing my MDA PRO with the JasJar ROM, I simply paid £10.50 to M$ and now have the full suite of MSN applications (Messenger, Hotmail integrated with pocket Outlook, etc) on my MDA PRO. When you buy it, it's activated on your "passport account" not the software itself - this means that you can install MSN on any other device in the future and won't have to pay for it again (as long as you sign in as you).
Disappointing yes, but there are too many "my JasJar is now a brick!!!" threads on this forum and that convinced me that flashing was a bad idea as this device is so new :lol:
Hi,
i made the upgarde and there were no problems att all. The msm software ist not the only difference, with the jasjar roms you´ll get skype, an anti-virus-solution and get rid of that grey / magenta look.
Oh, i forgot, i had serveral problems with wifi with the t-mobile roms ... with the jasjar roms wifi is very very easy and stable.
I made it and i am happy with it.

See the following thread for MDA pro rom upgrade details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29354
I work for a certain mobile provider, and have it on authority, that a ROM update is out in November for the PRO with MSN included, and the blackberry connect software for email
Cool, do you know where we will be able to download this from?
I think i can wait.
Hi
Anyone know if the downloadable Pocket MSN version @ MS is WM2005 compatible? It seems to be just 2003/SE:

@veletron: yes, it is, you can run it on wm5.

I too had problems installing Pocket MSN on my MDA Pro (the activation process only seems to accept Hotmail-accounts, not generic e-mail addressed that can be your MSN/Passport account as on the PC-version of MSN Messenger).
Until MS resolves this issue, I downloaded and installed IM+ from
http://www.shapeservices.com/eng/im/PPC/
Seems to work fine in WM5, supports landscape just fine, has WM5-style notification "bubbles" when someone is speaking, however it lacks the use of the 2 WM5-style hardware buttons. So far, it seems to be the best MSN Messenger client for me, until I can use the "real thing" with my normal MSN account.
Hi,
Pocket msn messenger (built in the WM2003SE rom) is free like msn messenger, it's a shame that you have to pay €14.99 for POCKETMSN (new service for the registration) while msn messenger on your pc is for free.
That's the point where people start to look for a replacement free messenger.
The built in Msn messenger in the windows 2003se rom has no email plugins. The pocketmsn has, that's the difference.
For €14.99 i'd rather visit myself hotmail.com without a stupid plugin.
There is http://www.frieger.com/photmail/
This is still a beta program that connects & downloads your empty folders, even if checked for synchronising.
Then you have HTTPMail

This one I didn't try yet, but found on other forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4567&highlight=hotmail
but it doesn't work 100% and it's a paid service.
Any alternative mailprograms or plugin for the built in MSN in WM2003SE that notifies if you have mail ?
Is the msn better for WM2005? I know WM2005 is not compatible with Alpine (XDA2i) but maybe someone can post the msn cab from wm2005 and tell us if this version is better and has a hotmail plugin, or also payservice ?
Thanks,

is it normal i have got no MSN pre-installed on my universal
cheers,, cudo
If you mean MSN messenger, it is called "Pocket MSN" and the icon is a butterfly. From within that you then select MSN messenger. I had a similar problem when I got mine, not being able to find it. I must say I don't like it like this.
nope i tried to localize it everywhere but i just dont have it installed.
i am using mda pro. even if i try to serch within help there is nothing about pocket msn, msn and so on...why is that maybe i just need to upgrade to the lates ROM ?
mine never came with it either mate had to use agile msng in the end,
im also running a tmob uk mda pro

You all need to upgrade your ROMS to the latest version to get MSN Messenger!

how do you find ext rom stable and is it a pain in the ass to do

Installation was pretty straight forward. I wrote my first thoughts here and so far tey havent changed:

Have you got yours sorted now?
For those interested, some operators do not ship their PDA-phones with MSN messenger so as not to compete with their own instant messenging solutions / SMS offers.
Hi,
I found an article on www.coolsmartphone.com on how to install messenger - and now I can't find it again!
Anybody got the link to it?
Cheers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/googleidx.php?t=59978 Do you mean like this?
Hi,
Yeah - I saw that when I did a search but was a bit wary of downloading something from an 3rd party source...
If its instant messenger your after google agile messenger. great program and free for ppc users. been working fine on the 5 different devices Ive used it on so far....including the tytn
gurry
I only wanted MSN Messenger - not worried about connecting to other IM's...
Anyway - found this on my mate Gear's "small" website!
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/news2266.html
Says M600 - but think it works on any Windows Mobile 5 device that dosn't have messenger.
can confirm agile runs on wm5. yes it isn't purely msn messenger' will also connect to icq google yahoo etc.... but that's a good thing right2

Hi
I have a HTC touch which is on T-Mobile UK (GSM), my son uses this phone now. He wants to be able to use windows messenger or another IM client but for some reason the messenger option is missing on the phone. Can anyone help with a solution? I am not sure if you can update the ROM or download windows live messenger and install it.
Thanks in advance.
Just download one of theese files here
