T-mobile MDA Pro, No MSN apps?

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.
cheers, lutz

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.

Messenger on Tytn / M3100

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

Pocket msn on spv m600

Is there anyway to install msn without the need to activate your emaill address each time?
Is there a difference in the version which can be downloaded and the one which is pre-installed in some roms?
Any other IM software everyone uses over pocket msn?

I use agile messenger, far better than msn to me !

Pocket MSN

I agree Agile seems to act as a good replacement for MSN on a PDA, Is the version of Pocket MSN you are running a pre-release version or a final version as i seem to recall there being some issues with a Beta version that was released.

Thanks a lot for your replies. I have used Agile previously on symbian platform...excellent app. If I remember correctly it is subscription based now.

yes... it's been "free" for a long time but isn't anymore. Just realised that today when I tried to reinstall an old (free) version, it asks for update ($$$) or won't work

Messaging Cliente .

Hi Guys i just got my Athena and i want to use a Messaging client
I have installed Windows Live Messenger that works ok but its damm slow...
and i need to user GTALK and ICQ....
So i tryed IM+ and Agile but the resolution is huge... is there anyway to fix the IM+ our Agile MEssenger resolution ... our is there any Messaging client for VGA mode ?

THe older windows live messenger thing is still around, that works quicker doesnt it than the latest one?
Speaking of which, does this latest messenger still import all your msn contacts into the phone directory?

No MSN Messenger on SPVM3100..?

Hi guys/dolls,
My 1st post of hopefully many .......Got myself upgraded(?) from a FSC Loox T830 to an Orange SPV M3100 (mainly for the larger screen & keyboard) but note that there is no MSN Messenger installed!?! ... How can I get this or Pocket MSN installed? Also, anyone had luck on using 'push email' on this device through the Wlan connection?

MSN messenger wasnt included by Orange deliberatly i think, dont worry it is available on many different ROMs.
Push email works through activesync (on the device) you need to setup an exchange account somewhere and email sent to that account is pushed to the device if you are synced through GPRS/HSDPA Wifi or even through the USB lead on your pc. Denials service is quite good, and a simple $10 donation is all he requires for it. You will find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305612

There's also a CAB floating around for Windows Live Mobile... sorry I don't have a link but search for it and you'll find it.
I prefer using that over the old MSN Messenger AND you get free push email with hotmail - awesome!

Please use forum search.
I posted on this very topic a couple of weeks ago.

If you are wanting Pocket MSN then use the thread above.
Orange remove this from their device as it goes against T&C's but there is a CAB attached to the above thread that gets it working.
If you use Live messenger then it has an in built expiry that means you have to re-install it every now and then. It's still in BETA stage.
I would recommend using Pocket MSN as it is working fine error free for me and my M3100 using friend.

Thanks guys.....downloaded and installed the 'floating' CAB, Pocket MSN back and works a dream! Boo Orange!
