I heard that BBmessenger has to have a PIN. PINs are "given" when you install BBConnect. Is it a matter of no one creating a program to take advantage of the BBConnect software or what? I also heard that we can receive BBMessenger messages but cannot reply....any truth in that?
If that is the case, there MUST be a workaround for it.....
Any thoughts?

Hmmm, I just found out there's no MSN Mobile on my MDAPro. Can anyone post a CAB with MSN suitable for the WM2005 OS ??
Thanx !
Sammy ;o)
its a cab file for wm2003se but it will work on wm2005 too...
regards
you can buy it for 19,95 dollar on msn
unfortuntily i can't gete het 2003 to work. So anybody any other options?
grt,
Ruben
like i said
microsoft wants you to buy it
i did, i have msn on my mda pro
Are the $ 19 once ore returning?
I don't understand the decision of MS. This will push the user to Skype and evangelize other PC users to do this also.

Hang on, isn't Pocket MSN is supposed to be standard on all WM2005 devices?
You don't have to pay for MSN Messenger for any other platform which Microsoft supports, so why on God's Holy Earth would they charge for this version? Especially as it's free and pre-installed on the JasJar.
It surely can't be a Microsoft decision, sounds like T-Mobile (Germany) are the ones who are screwing everything up to me...

The PocketMSN install on the MDA Pro CD connects to a Microsoft site where you can download PocketMSN. Installing it prior to activating it with Microsoft will result in an error message. In this case Microsoft are not charging for the USE of MSN but for the use of the PocketMSN application, and they do that by preventing the PocketMSN application from connecting to MSN and Hotmail prior to activation.
In short, Microsoft are selling the application instead of shipping it for free, and by leaving MSN out of the default WM5 OS make sure that you buy it. Has nothing to do with T-Mobile.
On the jasjar it comes installed and you just login and you're good to go.

Yeah, but I-Mate probably paid MS a lump sum to be able to include in in the bundled software. Not every operator may want to do so, in order to save a dime. Mind you: these devices are heavily subsidised (at least here in the Netherlands). I'm on the Relax 200 subscription (which I extended) and I got the MDA Pro for €239... The normal cost is € 745.
Most of the MDA's they sell will be in combination with a subscription (and thus subsidised) and therefore the package needs to be as cheap as possible...
Pocket Msn.
can some god send person please upload pocket msn over here I have already activated pocket msn services under my email address but have failed to download the setup of pocket msn, as i try to download, it terminates the connection itself and i dont have a complete .exe file to install in my pda....ive asked my friend to download it at his place he has the same issue it terminates itself i am sure someone out here is using pocket msn if not using has it in the backup folder could you please upload it here or upload it to http://rapidshare.de or http://www.megaupload.com and post the link here for the download......
ive contacted microsoft support team and all crap replies one guy is suggesting me to contact microsoft u.k one is saying contact msn support team and both have given links where as on the links there is no information for pocket msn support and microsoft u.k would'nt reply.
this thread is my last hope i had posted a new thread also but no one has the courtesy to post the file for me as there are only increasing views no replies....
P.S : if you would like to give a shot at the download link then here it is http://mobile.msn.com/download.aspx?id=pmsn_installer
MDA Pro crashes after Pocket msn install and reset
I installed Pocket MSN. It worked, but after a soft reset, the device won't start up again, it just hangs in the boot screen (the T-mobile logo.)
First I thought it was a compatibility problem, but the same thing happened after a hard reset and a fresh install of only Pocket MSN.
Anyone else has the same problem?
ANd than to think I paid for the service.

Must be a temporary problem. I successfully downloaded this at work earlier (to post here for anyone who might want it), but decided it'd probably be pointless as I assumed it'd need to be registered (paid for).
I'm unable to download more than 30% of the file now because as you say, it keeps cutting out, but I still have the complete .exe at work, and if no-one else has posted this by tomorrow morning, I'll upload it for you as soon as I get back to the office...
Pocket MSN File
I at least can post the file, it's a free download. You have to pay for the registration.

Beaten to it! I forgot about my training session this morning!
So does this mean that everyone with an MDA Pro will have to pay £10.99 to get MSN to work on their device? Sneaky little buggers - T-Mobile - aren't they?
I assume there's some sort of legal 'issue' about extracting the MSN app from a JasJar, and posting it here, or is that not actually possible???
Anyone got the same problem ? I still use the old MSN Messenger of WM2003 SE, original one from the Magician.
It does not work anymore.
I tried MSN 4.7.3 in my PC and it does not work either. I upgraded to the latest release and it works !
I think Microsoft is now blocking the old MSN messenger
Any ideas?
It still works for me, then maybe it was just a short interruption of service.
Strange, it still does not work for me. It happened about 5 hours ago and still does not work until now.
Internet connection is working fine, I use GPRS. Browsing is fine.
Like I said, I have this problem also in the PC. But when I updated the MSN Messenger to the latest release (Windows Live Messenger), it is working fine.
However, I dont know how to update my Magician MSN Messenger
yeah it doesnt work sometimes, i dont use it alot.
if you wana use messenger get agile or IM+ they support multiple messengers
Is Agile freeware ? This is confusing because in some forums people put it as freeware. But when I check the website, I have to pay about $19 USD.
I tried it once (I think I got it bundled with T-Mobile NL), and I dont like it because of intermittent hung up.
Maybe there is a newer version, I dont know.
What is your experience with Agile ?
I hate Agile for the only reason that when a suggestive input text has been selected, it sends the message which may rather be incomplete.. It should be freely available though.
I like agile - think its a really good wee programme, never had a problem with predictive - but I have it turned off.
It is free if you get the ppc version - some mobile versions are charged but I downloaded and used the ppc one and not a penny was paid.
However I did pay for a years service on my 6600 then 2 months in got the hermes so I guess my lack of use of my paid version more than makes up for getting the hermes version for free.
yeah it says its paid for but when you install it it doesnt say trial only or anything
I like Agile, never had any problems. It's a really good program and best of all... it's totally free.

Have you installed or recently updated a firewall/antivirus application like Norton software? This could be the problem with the PC version as I've found that sometimes updates block files such as the exe file for MSN; this could explain why the old messenger didn't work and the new one does, as the exe files are different. No idea with the ppc tho :/
How come Helio Ocean has Yahoo messenger but there doesnt seem to be a released version for any Windows Mobile device or any other device for that matter?

Just checked. Dowloading it now.
Got it. Don't like it.
It's slow. And no Messenger. It's pretty and does email and those other Yahoo things, but not YIM.
Back to square one.
any update on this yet...?
Sort of, possibly.

I only browse these forums once in a while, but an update to this that might work out for you guys.
My wife recently got a (Cingular, oops I mean AT&T) Samsung Blackjack and it came with a link to install an instant messaging software package from OZ. I 'tested' the cab file out on my 8125 and it works in portrait mode, but you lose the text entry screen in landscape. It also does not accept touch screen input, as it was designed for a smartphone. The one caviat is that you have to keep and maintain a strong signal to use it effectively.
So if you know someone who has a blackjack, or maybe even another smartphone from cingular...err AT&T you might be able to access the cab from their phone and test it out on yours.

It'll happen across the board, mark my words.
Symbian Live messenger is going to be charged for. This will happen within the next 30 days.
Yet another example of penny pinching microsoft's inability to respect its customers and why Symbian and Linux are taking such a huge chunk of their market from them.
Download Fring for an alternative with VOIP. It's free. Alternatively cough up the dough, or hope that Pidgin comes out for windows mobile.
Looks like it's coming pretty soon

Thanks for that, however this is virtualisation and a bit over kill for what I need it for.
I would love some clever person forever if they can figure out how to get the bog-standard BBConnect to work on the Xperia... Anyone up for the challenge?

Hmmm... if it is only blackberry connect that you want... why don't you just install the BBConnect for Windows Mobile on your device?
I've never used Blackberry... so can anyone tell me what the deal with Blackberry connect is? Same as Microsoft Exchange/Direct Push?

But why won't that work? BBConnect for Windows Mobile is not just working, but also reported to be working side-by-side with Direct Push enabled as well (though only across two different accounts)
Is it not supported on Xperia?
For whatever reason the Blackberry software disconnects as soon as you try to initiate. It means that you never get a PIN for the X1. If instead you searched or even tried you would have realised this.

Like i said, i haven't tried Black Berry connect on my Xperia yet... i know that BBConnect for WinMo is working on most windows mobile devices, so its probably some setting or something...
To get bbconnect to work on a cooked rom for my old tytnii, a registry value had to be edited..
I tried the same value when I received my Xperia to no avail.
bbconnect triggers Blackberry GPRS on the Xperia, it queries the network, connects saying "Network available" the disconnects when "Tunneling denied" (wording is from memory but is the gist). A PIN is never issued to the device, and from the little I know of WinMo, it seems if someone could just figure out the magic value to edit the registry, a PIN would get issued and I'd have Blackberry service back.
Nothing quite as horrible as waiting up to 9 hours for the phone to decide to finally check the POP account that is set up to check every 5 mins...
/rant over/
Someone please be a God and get bbconnect to work! PIN messaging was a neat idea before I found out the new BAS is a vitalisation - Now I have no desire to run BAS, I just want bbconnect back! **whine whine**

Well, you could do it m.... nah i'll leave that, too obvious!
I set mine to check every 15min, it seems to do it when I unlock the screen or go into messaging, good enough for me.
I'm really happy with Direct Push.
On my device i'm using Direct Push to get my company mail. And surprisingly, sometimes i get the notification on my mobile of the e-mail before i get it on my laptop.
@msalmank but that requires an exchange server for your mail, whilst most of us were using BIS with pop3/imap accounts.
For the time being I've been using Seven Beta, it's not as good as the experience I've had with BBConnect, however most mail seems to be pushed pretty quick from GMail.
