No MSMessenger on T-Mobile MDA Pro?

It looks like stupid T-mobile has deleted the MSMessenger from their ROM version for MDA Pro.
Instead they put liks for their own dumb sites all over the place.
Does anyone know how to get the messenger back?

T-Mobile are soo gay

There are 3 ways:
1) Flash your rom with jasjar (you get Skype, antivirus, Pocket MSN and freed memory). I had done this myself, it's easy to do but it will break the device's warranty
2) Buy, yes I repeat, BUY the pocket MSN from microsoft for US$20. I think the reason behind the dissappearance of Pocket MSN is due to the extra charge imposed by Microsoft for the inclusion of this program.
3) You can try some other Messenger like Agile Messenger. It includes the MSN, Yahoo, AOL and ICQ in one app and for the cost of €19.95 (a bit more expensive)

Agile Messenger is FREE!

Thank you, dianna_wills.
I really think we shoul sue ****in T-Mobile for this.
If I buy a device with WM5 on it, and WM5 includes MSMessenger (according to Microsofts website), I can expect to get the device with MS Messenger without having to pay extra.
At least I can`t remember having seen any warning about this in their advertising.
Also I don`t think it`s funny that I can`t remove their homepage (after every reset it`s back).
All this can`t be legal.
Any lawyers in here?

AGILE Messenger is free whilst it's in Beta, when Agile have a release version the Beta versions will probabaly cease to work and the software will be USD 20 outright or 2USD PM charged via text message.

And it uses much less data (like it uses 10% of what MSN uses to do the same job) and so with your web 'n' walk tariff it makes absolute sense to use it. Even when it goes commercial, I will recoup the cost of agile within a month or two compared to if I used gazillions of megs with MSN proper.

If that'#s truly the case, I'll buy it.

Is video conferencing possible using any messenger programmes
The kids use msn messenger and their web cams.
Will the universal do this either on a wirless network and/or over the 3g network.
Is there any way to get the pocket messenger to support video conferencing/web cam
Thanks
Steve

I've moved to agile messenger, and it's definitely not available there, but if they update it to allow webcamming over msn or whatever via wifi or 3G, that would truly be a killer app.

Microsoft Money on MDA

I have Microsoft Money on my laptop, not the most upto date version.
Is there a program to run it on my mda, done some searches but am always nervous in case it screws up my MDA.
Does anyone use Microsoft Money and sync to MDA?

Agreed. I had to migrate to Spb Finance, as well. Microsoft no longer supports MS Money for the Ppc.

IM+ or Agile Messenger?

so...I'm sick of the default oz messenger with t-mobile **** lags and seems not to work all that great. So I was curious what everyone would recommend...and if it is worth the price. Thanks Jake

In my opinion none of them is worth the money! In fact IM services should be free just like they used to be!
Agile Messenger is a beautiful IM client and supports all standard IM (AOL, ICQ, MSN, YAHOO and more) but the price on the software is a joke! Well, as long as they find people spending that ammount of money they won't go down with the price anyway!
IM+ never worked on my NOKIAs and also not on my XDA!
I can see who is online, I can send them an IM but never receive what they are typing in ... ! The interface is not as comfortable and handy as the Agile Messengers, looks somehow way behind ...

Yeah I think its insane that they want money for the programs wish AOL would come out with a good I'M client for wm5/wm6

IM+ works on T-MobileWeb... i tried......

I use VeriChat.. its a good client and is pretty fast. The basic is free and you can set a bunch of away messages to pick from.. it also supports a variety of things.. but sadly they don't sell it anymore.. i attached the EXE though in case you want to try it
-Nstefanelli-

LOL,
maybe it is about time that we sit together and develop a XDA Messenger!
I know a little bit about programming allthrough mobile programming is none of my favorites! I am not familiar with the COMPACT FRAMEWORK and WM5 / WM6 API but it can't be that hard ...

sounds good to me!
-Nstefanelli-

I have no programing skill on pocket pcs but if you want to give it a run be my guest lol...anyway
anyone have agile beta cab could you post it or email it? [email protected]ail.com thanks if you do

i prefer im+, frankly, i lost my copy of agile, and it always had some issues anyway
@jaychym: if i find a copy, ill send it to you

I use AIM on my 8125.. I kind of like having the actual AIM as opposed to paying for Agile..

The bad thing is: if you use almost any of the Messengers, like I do, it is quite complicate if you do not have an application such as AGILE ... I would buy it for US$20.00 if that would include a life time subscription, but not for more ... Also: for YAHOO is not really a messenger out there (except the one integrated in the TMO US ROMs, and that one really sucks!!!).
I just 'scammed' the web to see if anybody out there works on a open source project for messengers on PDA's but could not find any good stuff ... either it is so old that it is not worth to try to bring it back to life or it is not open source ... sad!

Well with the growing popularity of the Windows Mobile platform, thanks to increasing sales of it via phones, I think you will begin to see a greater proliferation of software like this for the platform.
Now, that said, I would welcome an XDA Messenger if someone should choose to write one and I would gladly help to beta test it. There's just no way I'm paying a monthly subscription fee for IM software on top of what I pay for my phone and data.
Otherwise it looks like it's separate apps. Windows Live, that older free version of AIM from the UK and the new version of Yahoo! Mobile should be out soon for WM devices.

XDA Messenger would be sweet! Does anyone know if Jabber is based on SMS? There's a free ap at http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm, but it's no good to me if it uses SMS. I have unlimited data, but pay for each text message

i kno that Jabber is available in IM+ and the whole program uses data. I personally dont use Jabber, but I assume its the same for all services.

i love the idea.. of making a program so that we could all use it.. i would help but i have no clue how to make a program.. but if u guys get around to making it.. itd be kewl if u guys included personalized away messgaes so we could out it in and so that it appears online like on a computer. not i'm mobile like when u sign on froma fone... well this are just suggestions if u guys do end up making one thatd be great..

I used QuickIM for MSN until I installed WM6 with Live messenger. It has no subscription, available for all mobile platforms *except* WM, but there is a rudimentary jar version which is what I used.

Thanks for answering. I'm still looking for the right solution, and I'm sure it won't include paying $40-$45

thanks for the prog but it seems you have to register it and pay for it.
considering pdaphones/smartphones are more popular these days alot people would find that a good free messenger-program would be nice to have. sadly i don't have any programming skills but would definitely be among the list of beta testers for windows mobile 2003 and windows mobile 5/6.

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.
Daniel,

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?
