Anyone willing to work and craft a means so that Facebook Chat will work on Windows Mobile? Seems like a natural addition to any IM'ing that's already done on WM.
Any takers for the development?
ya that would be great
I was thinking about this recently, it really would make a great addition...
Perhaps this suggestion should be made to the Palringo developers as well.
Since I'm rather fond of Palringo now .
One would probably have to make a facebook application to acomplish this and also I don't think the facebook devs have opened up chat to application developers.
i like the idea since in recent days i've started using facebook chat.
if you use skyfire i believe you can use the facebook chat..
facebook chat app: any news?
Any news on this? I see pidgin now works with facebook on the desktop version. They say that it would take some effort to port pidgin to windows mobile so I don't see that happening yet. It does show that it is possible
code for pidgin app is at:
http://code.google.com/p/pidgin-facebookchat/
There is already a facebook application out there. Not sure if the creator minds if I post it. Besides, its freeware. I use it daily.

i've been using that app recently but, as far as i can tell, it doesn't have facebook chat.
So these apps ive tried on here does not have live chat. Does anything exist? I have skyfire but a window wont popup to let me chat. Waiting for facebook live chat on Win Mobile....
Yeigo has recently included Facebook chat in their application (along with the usuals like Skype/Googletalk/MSN etc). There is a Windows Mobile version as well as Symbian/Java.
You can download the app at www.getyeigo.com or visit www.yeigo.com for more information.

Thanks for the refrence... I tried Yeigo. It looks promising, however I'm having problems. I cant get my MSN contacts to populate. When I chat on facebook I can send messages but when people write back I dont get them.
Can someone else try this program and report back? I have a Tilt on AT&T edge. I have yet to try wifi.

Hey Praygo. We're currently having some issues with the MSN gateway so no one is receiving their MSN friends - we're working on this and hopefully everything will be back to normal by tomorrow.
The facebook code is pretty new so there might still be a few lingering bugs to sort out and we'll be watching for those. From my experience it's been working great. If you continue having issues send us an email at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do to sort you out.
Thanks,
Andrew

I tried Yeigo and i LOVE it. i have a moto q with alltel and i use it for facebook chat and it works great...only thing id want to see changed is the beep to maybe a sound and also a vibrate alert.
Fring has a facebook plugin. Not sure if it's for chat, but if a IM program has a facebook plugin I can only assume that it's for the chat feature....
Yeigo.com is hacked?
would love to try skyfire but its for U.S only and requires signup queue for beta users........
not tasty!

Hi,
I have installed Skype 2.2 for Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC) on my Telus Diamond.
I don't use Skype for VoIP, I use it for the messaging. My gripe with this Skype is it puts a tag line that says something on how I'm using Skype without a PC and on a mobile with a "Learn More" link. I don't like that tagline. I can't even seem to change it. For example, my Skype is logged in at my work PC, and I want to log in from my phone as well.
I want the tagline to show as the one that's on my PC's Skype.
The other issue with this is, it doesn't go away on idle or anything like that. And as you can see, the Skype provided to Mobile users is very stripped down to a basic IM client.
No auto away on idle of 5 mins, no chat window being opened or sound or vibe or any notification when IM'd (The only way you know you got messages is when you open your Skype client, you'll see your tab "Chats" highlighted, the stupid tag line.
Hence, I'm looking for an alternative client that might be available for WinMo6.1 that allows all of what I'm looking for.
Any help would be appreciated.
I like FRING: http://www.fring.com/
But I don't know if it suits your needs.

Does it provide IM for Skype you think?
I'll give it a try.
Installed it, tested it, removed it.
It plasters the tagline, and every message sent on Skype also has a signature. Agh!
Thanks for pointing me to it though, appreciate it.
Hi, first, before anyone jumps on me for not searching existing threads, I did but found that there were a bunch of old and possibly outdated ones as well as many which only talked about one client.
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a multi-protocol IM client for the Touch 2 or if any of them stand out as being clearly superior to others.
I'd like an IM client that offers always-on support for major networks (AIM, Yahoo IM, Windows Live, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber etc), is not buggy, has good features and so on. If it can do other things like send files or even start an audio or video chat, that would be great, but is not necessarily that important.
I'd be more than willing to pay for it if a payware client stands out as being supperior to the freeware clients out there.
The ones I'm aware of are:
Mundu - I've tried it, it's okay. It's payware, but seems to work descently, although it gives a lot of alert messages I don't want, like every time it gets disconnected. I wish it would just reconnect on its own and not bother me about it.
IM+ (haven't tried it)
Octrotalk
Nimbuzz
Agile Messenger
BeeJive
Palringo
fring
talkanaut
Fring
Slick
Webmessenger
Any recommendations? Are any of these stand-outs?
Since I'm not anal like others, I'll answer ya. I use Palringo, works perfectly on the Tilt 2. Nimbuzz is okay, I just like Palringo better personally.
Palringo rocks but Fring is nice with the VoIP/Skype integration.
iPhone-ish sms app
has anyone seen an SMS app that has a similiar UI/functionality to the one that's on the iPhone?
Hey brotha, My choice of IM client for the TP2 would be Palringo. Its pretty sweet and I love that you can send pictures through there aswell. Anyways PEACE BROTHA!
I 2nd Palringo... I"m sure once 2.5 comes out for Win mobile it'll be even sweeter.
Bejieve and Live messenger are quite ok for me
BeeJive gets my vote its very quick, I find others to be very slow
+1 for Palringo
I've tried a few of these and their all pretty good, but my biggest worry is that the ones I've tried are hosted by some unknown company. Not a big issue for chat, but if I send a photo to someone how secure is that on their servers? I stick to Live messenger; it may not be the best, but at least you know Microsoft is pretty secure.
BeeJive user here, love it.
Palringo and its not even close.
I've used almost all the other ones.... Palringo blows them away.
I used Parlingo, and while it was cool, it drained the hell out of my battery because it was ALWAYS connected.
I don't really use IM too much on my phone, the only reason I used it was to contact someone who can't receive texts at work. When I closed it, I was frustrated to find it was still open.
I had to close it via the task manager.
If you want something that is connected 24/7, it's great!
Palringo worked like a charm in mine, BUT from some time an on it does not show all my MSN contacts. I have literaly tried every single thing there is but with no use. I have even downloaded the PC version and again the same thing.. Does anyone have a solution or even encountered something similirar? I really liked that IM mainly because it permits me to chat while "appearing offline" which I find very useful. Or mybe suggest another client with the same feature?
The other one i liked was Beejive which i use on Ipod touch, BUT it keeps crashing my device every time, so it's a bummer for me.
Now I stick with Slick, pretty decent with the feature I mentioned above, the only drawback is that it doesn't have a FB chat support.

Honestly I have not had battery issues which would be a major concern of mine. I used beejive a while back and I thought that was an issue with beejive
Some of it may depend on the version of palringo that was used as I believe they made inprovements but I have used palringo for about a year now and I've had it run in the background with very little impact to my battery life.
Hey hani1,
It is not staying connected all the time, you can adjust it in the settings if you like to close it or keep it active. Its the best one there is, meaning lots of protocols, including facebook...
Give that a try
oh so i can make it not run in background? meaning when i exit the program, the process is ended? if thats the case, then i will definitley use it. i just dont like things running in background.
I'm using Beejive here whenever I've to contact someone I can't reach otherwise, it's pretty sweet and fast.
Most of all, I love that the Passwords (MSN, etc) are stored locally and not on some remote server.
the best client imo is Aimtxt which is aim thru text msg it doesnt use battery like other programs...just text 246246

Hi All
Just bought my Omnia 7 on Virgin Mobile. Ive always tended to stick to <£100 PAYG, but just got sick of slow cut corner phones, so i took the plunge and I love it, Its gorgeous, sleek and the AMOLED interface is beautiful as well as the 4 day battery, its great.
Ive just updated to the latest OS under Zune, but:
- Do I have to use painfully slow rubbish Zune on my PC for music, can I not use WMP 11 or Winamp
- I want to use the MS/Samsung marketplace, so i need to log in with my Windows/360 ID, so short of making a new Hoitmail account, Is there any way to stop my Hotmail contacts and emails filling up my address book.
Many thanks all
Night
Hey, NightOrchid.
From what I've seen and heard yes you have to use the crappy Zune software, not the end of the world but thats the only way to get content to the phone via a computer.
Also you can use any Live ID login. But if you don't want it to sync the contacts. Go into settings, Email & Accounts and then tap the hotmail/live account and untick contacts. Ohh wait, you can't if its your main Live ID you used to connect to the Microsoft services.
Before owning my WP7 I was using WMP11 as my music / media player.
I now use Zune and actually love it. It is a really good bit of software.
Takes a while, but in the end. I dare to say you will love it. Only problem is if you have a older/slow computer, because its resource heavy.
I dont understand the live/hotmail problem. But i have had my mail many years and never thought about putting name and details in to there accounts so when i first loggd on my phone, it wa a mess. But o took my time on my pc to correct my contacts info and it was worth it. I saw it as a spring cleaning =D my tip but then again, i might be wrong.Many forgetts the power of a live account in order, thats why i mention it.
Zunes been fine, and very fast and reliable for me. if you think zunes bad god help you if you tried itunes lol
Itunes is a laggy piece of poo hahaha if I'm being honest. Zune isn't too bad, its just a shame YOU have to use it... Itunes is quite good on a mac though.
So far I think the Omnia 7 is a nice piece of kit Microsoft bring on the update already!

Much appreciated on your reply

Yahoo is available only for phones at the moment and does not work properly. MSN is supported by 3rd party apps.
Google video works fine.
thats odd I asked our IT guy why we dont use msn video for tele-confrences and he laughed/ Why cause skype and go to meeting is what bunisses use
not necessary, I am a trader, I work from home and I need the app what others use to communicate too. Some use skype, some yahoo some msn some google. We just can't say I can only use this app coz my equipment supports just this? We spend money on technology to make our business and life easy. Sadly Android is still a baby.
Skype
Google Talk
Facebook Chat
Windows Live Messenger
I got pissed to use too much chat application, now I use only GMAIL and GTALK...
Oh you must be one of those porn bots that use MSN for "business"

@kimi: If you work from home buy a PC. It's for business. If you need to be available lets say in the bathroom just buy a laptop PC. Don't buy a tablet and expect (even though you can if you try) to replace your everyday run of the mill PC.
