Hello!
I would greatly appreciate it if you could suggest any good multi - IM software for the universal (Yahoo, MSN, ICQ mainly)
agile messenger was good, but it has a lot of stability issues on the universal. So could you suggest something other than agile?
Thanks,
San
Hmm I'd be interested also in what people are using, at the moment I only have PocketMSN installed.
MSN via IRC
Hi all,
Well I own an MDA Pro (HTC Universal) so it doesn't come with MSN Messenger installed. I am waiting for the new Rom though which does include it. In the meantime I'm using an IRC client in combination with Bitlbee to get on the MSN network. It works like a charm. If you don't know what Bitlbee is you can go here (www.bitlbee.org) to read all about it and to try it out. Basically it's just a IRC Bot/Script that you can run on your computer and it forms a gateway to different IM networks like MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM etc... You can also use the public servers if you don't want to install it on your own pc. Ow and it's free also.
Agile Messenger for Windows Mobile is still free as far as I know, and supports MSN, Yahoo!, AOL, Jabber and ICQ.
I'm using it almost daily. Works quite well, actually.
It has crashed on me at times, but only after extensive chatting.
Omnichaos: Does the MDA Pro not come with MSN? The i-mates do, and it's a free download from Microsoft's site too. The problem with using IRC scripts and bots is that not one bit of it is encrypted, so you're opening up your data to some script-kiddie with lots of time on his hands (granted, I haven't read about your solution, so I don't know the details)
Even I use Agile messenger..it works fine also in Full VGA Mode :lol:
What about any alternatives for just an MSN? I'm not using any other communicators so don't need the all-in-one ones.
I'm quite happy with Pocket MSN, it's just annoying me that the chat window is so small and hard to read and there is a huge unused space underneath.

Also my Agile crashes now and then my Jasjar. Indeed you need extensive chatting first. It has never crashed just in stand bye mode.
Agile however recovers very well after being out of reach of the network, which, in my case, cannot be said about MSN.
And the MSN new-user-on-line warning can officially not be switched off. Very irritating.
Anyone tried IM+?
Huib
hey, Thanks!!!
@ snorbaard
No the MDA Pro does not come with MSN Messenger at least not yet (It's included in the next Rom update). I don't know why they haven't included it in the first place cause I now that the Imate's, O2's & Qtek's do.
You are right about MSN being a free download but you have to active your MSN account first for you to be able to use Pocket MSN and that costs 15 euro's.
But as I said it doesn't matter for me that much cause I'm using IRC to get on the MSN network.
You're probably right about IRC not being encrypted but you can run it on your own computer which does increase security alot than if you were to use the public servers. Besides I don't really care that much. It's not like I'm giving away passwords or creditcard numbers on MSN anyway.

Sweet!!!
Can't wait to try it out.
New Agile? Great. Used it on my Nokia 9500. Very nice and stable.
eagerly waiting for a testdrive.

IM+ is really good. Its WM5 compliant and does Google messenger also.
yo i tried agile on my mda pro, but it wouldnt work,
touchscreen doesnt work with it,and i could only select msn not logon to it
to bad, i just have to wait voor that t-mobile update i guess
P'z
Beta
The new version should support:
Push To Talk
Image Transfer
Emoticons
Group Management
Typing Notification
Support for AOL, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, and Google Talk
Amongst a number of other new features, and an entirely new interface.
There have ben a number of internal builds over the past few months, and we expect to be releasing a Beta very shortly.
For those of you that are requesting early Beta's it is simply not possible as we intend to provide it to the entire community as soon as our internal devlopment team and quality controll is satisfied that it is ready for public release; which we expect to be in the next few weeks.

I also use IM+. I have since i first got my old Nokia 7650 many moons ago.
I use an XDA EXEC at the moment and the built in MSN Messenger is really bad it claims i am connected when i am not and my gprs monitor reported over 400k usage in around 3 hours without any use.
With IM+ i use around 23K when connecting then a very small amount each time i chat.
AFAIK IM+ also connects directly to the services. I know some other third party ones connect through their own servers.

Dingo, that is good news. There is competition. I would love you to compare both Agile and IM+ as soon as the new, rewritten, Agile appears.
I use Agile at the moment. Apart from sometimes hanging my Jasjar, it does the job well. Especially REconnecting after being in the subway is very imporant for me. MSN just does not and Agile reconnects quickly.
MB consumtion of MSN is unacceptable. Very strange that MS delievered a product like that.

Hi guys
I have been using agile oin my T;mobile exec. It is very stable and i also find it recovers well on disconnects between cell sites. I regularly use it on express train journeys in the uk. But for these i tend to turn of UMTS and force gsm only. this really helps on speeding up agile reconnecting when the unoiversal is moving fast. The other big thing on agile is it costs less than 305 of the bw that MS MSN client uses. So on samll bundles it will save far more in bw costs than any licence feee will cost. If you are having problems on the t-mobile exec, then you are probably doing something wrong, or you have some other trird party sw installed that is messing thinbgs up. Personally i am really pleased that tmob did not install msn otherwise i would not have discovered agile. Can t wait till the new version comes out.
Keepup the good work at the Agile dev team.
Regards
Charlie
MSN Mobile is ... really bad IMHO.
Im also using IM+ as its the most stable for me. It also support jabber but it really miss some basic features.
Are they any other good jabber clients?
Agile was also not really working out for me, lets see how it behave on an new version.
If anybody know any other clients plz post them. Im also really ready to pay for them - 100EURO for a really ok client is no problem. Sources would be even better so i could fix the rest myself.
If somebody could provide sources, i would even sign an NDA or something and pay more.
Would love if somebody contact me

Hi there can anyone please tell me where I can get a good messenger that's got yahoo in or the lot in it eg yahoo aol msn ect ect allso what's a good download site could I have some links plz I've a mda prom with windows 5.0 the downloads must be free allso the messenger must be free if u can help it would be so great thanx mono33
Wow. Virtually no punctuation....
OK...
If you had searched the forums first you may not have needed to post. Agile Messenger is a good replacement that lets you use Yahoo, AIM as well as MSN.
What kind of downloads are you referring to? Free software? Legitimate software? There are several sites you can use, search for them in Google (ie "freeware pocket pc"). If you mean commercial software, then you can get free (often time-limited) trials at places like www.handango.com and www.pocketgear.com .
Cheers

where do i get
hi there thanx for your help but you never said where I can get hold of agile messenger from and is it free and yes I'm looking for any software that is free for my mda pro with windows 5.0 I can't seem to find them or when I do and download them it says on my mda pro this is not a pocket pc app so it will not run or work on here any help plz thanx mono33
Hi mono,
when Anton reacted to your mail he nicely pointed out that your way of writing is not nice. Please use dots (.) comma's (,) etc. etc. ([email protected]#$%^) whereever needed. Also use Enter. In this way You can have your mail looking better to read.
Do NOT check Submit immediately. First check Preview, so You can see if it worked like You wanted. If You see a good result, then use Submit.
I, for one, do not like to answer persons who repeatedly write in such way as You do here.
regards,
Ruud

You could just have searched Google for "Agile Messenger" and for free software, as I suggested originally.
http://www.freewareppc.com/ - first result on "freeware pocket pc" in Google
http://www.agilemobile.com/ - first result (and 2nd and 3rd) when on "agile messenger" in Google
I would suggest you need to read your manuals as they explain to you how to install a program you download from the internet. There are two methods: via the PC and Activesync, or by directly installing the .cab files that contain the programs.
Ant
Thank's
Thank's so much.I'm so sorry if I've upset anyone in the way I write.Did not mean to.Hope this is better and i'll try and remember for next time and forever ok.Thank's for getting back to me.I did try and do a search but no luck.I'll allso look at manule tonight.Thank's once again
What a great site keep up the great work
thank's mono33
After flicking around on google, i have found a personally tested method of getting msn messenger working in WM5.
It fully supports the rotation that occurs when you open the keyboard on the TyTN.
http://node13.org/pda/
Go here (my own site), and do the following:
1. Connect your WM5 device to your pc.
2. Run msn22.exe (Will installed the PPC2002 version of MSN Messenger)
3. Run msn23.exe (Will instal the PPC2003SE version with the latest updates)
4. Reset your device
Voila, you now have a nice working copy of MSN Messenger.
Enjoy!
Just out of curiosity:
What's the difference between "MSN Messenger on Pocket PC" and "Pocket Messenger"?
Thanks for that!

For some reasons, every time I tried to run your msn23 from my computer (connected to the device of course), it showed the InstallShield 1645: and it stopped there. I have also tried msn22 and the result is the same. BTW, I have done the unlock CID already if it would matter at all.
Any suggestions?

Yes, I don't know why Microsoft have it so obscurely referenced, not easy to track it down. By the way also works well for me too.

Well now that's a tricky question... welllll ok yes we are, at least I am. The one that's like the old MSN for mobile but not quite if you know what I mean!! And the one that shows as Live.com on this link http://ideas.live.com/, In case there's confusion "MSN Messenger is now Windows Live Messenger" hence the use of the name Live.com.
Mike
you try this agilemessenger
in my tytn it works very well:
- he automatically rotates with the opening of the keyboard
- it notices all the emoticons
- it works with msn, icq, yaooh etc. accounts
- allows to make a photo with my TYTN and to send it
- and it also has the push to talk!!!
It's phenomenalanything

him, agile messenger is fabulous! to try for believing!
Is Agile Messenger really free? On their web site they only have 7 day trial versions after which you pay and through the nose...

Try not to get too hooked unless you want to be spending up big.

Free on WM5 "for the moment"
As it is slightly buggey or at least was, seems much more stable these days.
Yes is Free!!!
Where is it, it says that it's not available yet, the messenger.
Only windows live homepage.
Thank you.

Good morning Chaps and Chappesses.
I hope everyone is well and happy. I am really enjoying using my Ameo but I cannot remember how to re-enable pocket MSN which t-moblie appear to have removed from my device.
I had this same problem on an older PPC I had but I cannot remember what I did to resolve this!
I had pocket MSN setup on my MDA pro and #I found it extremely usefull for checking mail and msn messenger.
Can anyone advise me on getting this back on my device?
Mny thanks!!

if lots of you are interested, i can post a windows message live up here, it's the next generation of pocket MSN.
I'm interested
WOWZERS!!!
PLEASE!!!
I would love a copy of the live messenger!
If you could post it before someone decides its a bad idea and blocks out posts
I am rather annoyed that I cannot have my hotmail messages delivered into my inbox like I did on my MDA pro.
That saved time and effort logging into hotmail through opera.
I guess I will not be installing another T-mobile Rom on this device but I had better find a copy of the HTC advantage Rom istead for TOMTOM and pocket MSN.
I await the goodness of :Live messenger !!
thanks!
Does the Live messenger keep your MSN contacts isolated, or does it still import all your phone contacts and add them as contacts (like it did when i once installed it on universal, prompting my immediate uninstall)
Also, does it suffer from the same problem with the winxp live messenger where some of the more recent contacts you add never appear online, even though they are online ?
Interested!!

Yes please mate.
Ooops! My bad. Just saw the dedicated thread for it. Thanks Wu.
I've been looking around using the search tool for good instant messaging apps. But all the threads I've found were old ones. I want something free and new that can make at least hotmail (windows live messenger) work on Wi Fi. Because the windows mobile messenger refuses to connect via wi fi.
I've heard Beejive IM is good but I want to know the alternatives.
Oh and I use a Touch Pro.
Have you tried Qip PDA? It's free and i like it
Did you tried BeejiveIM (Multimessenger)?
Currently beta so it's free. Works for me.

all the good IM clients with multiple protocols aren't free such as IM+ and mundu.if you want free and don't use memory,get unlimited text plan and set aim/yim to always show u on mobile while you arent logged on a client or pc
