Exclamation FYI - MSN Messenger

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I have had to hard reset my device twice now because of the MSN Messenger application that is included with WM6. I lost a lot of personal information and I dont want to see this happen to anybody else so this is a heads up for anybody who uses this application or any other application which might produce similar results.

If you connect to a wireless router via WIFI and then sign into MSN Messenger, whenever you hit the power button or loose connection to the wireless router the phone will begin to go in a spastic attack trying to connect to Sprint via #777! This might not be bad if you are on Sprint but since the Sprint coverage in my house is horrible I force my phone to use Roam only.

Because I'm on Roam only, the phone cannot connect to Sprint and continually attempts to #777 in a rapid fashion. I couldn't get the chance to change my settings with this annoying pop up so I reset the device. This is a big no-no at least on my device.

Both times that I reset my device, the phone would not boot past the intial WM6 splash screen! I had to hard reset and loose all the important notes and texts that I hadnt backed up.

It happed to me again today and I finally was able to open the MSN Messenger application and click on the menu and select Sign Out.

I think this is very lousy programming logic to endlessly try to attempt to regain the connection but nonetheless use the solution I described here otherwise you will need to hard reset and loose everything as I learned the hard way!
