Let's Petition Sprint for OZ Instant Messaging

They are all flawed one way or another, at least to our eyes, and we don't want those. We want the IM app that Sprint customers with other similar phones get to enjoy, the one that has been unrightfully snatched from the Mogul at conception.

This isn't about getting IM on our phones, we already know it can be done with third party applications. This is about getting Sprint to give Mogul users equal software preferment, and not leave us out of the bandwagon while other Sprint customers enjoy the newest and latest Sprint exclusives. While we're at it, perhaps the Mogul should be shipped with Sprint TV as well. Yes, I know it can work with the Mogul, but not without some hacking. It should be available without hacks, installable and usable off of a CAB.

after reading all of the post i agree with you, and you have my support and I wish you success... but I hope this pention business doesn't get out of hand... just want sprint to be more aware and help us mogul users out... besides how much trouble could it be to just include these programs in a future update anyway? also hopefully we will get the 6.1 update aswell so we will have built in mms support....

cant someone rip it off the touch?

Sure, someone did that a long time ago. The issue is that the encryption or login is tied to the phone and that phone isn't a Mogul. I haven't seen any recent activity as far as trying to force it to work so I'd say if you plan on keeping the Mogul, better start liking something else or hope that it's part of the "Q1 2008" update.

You have my full support. Doesn't make any sense to leave this functionality out anymore when the other models get it and when there are no truly comparable third-party free alternatives.

And it doesn't matter that this is a business-class phone. Do you have any idea how heavily IM is used in many businesses today? This is a vital function that I do miss having. It's half the reason I originally wanted a phone with QWERTY and one of the reasons I almost went to Helio for the Ocean. I expected I'd have the same abilities on my Mogul by now, but the available applications simply aren't good enough.

i'm down on the petition

Whoever said Sprint left IM apps off the Mogul because the Mogul is a "business device" is BS. I have a business and I am constantly IMing customers and cutomers IMing me as well. There is no excuse Sprint can give me as to why they left these programs off the Mogul.

That cab works fine. Just remove the .zip extension and install away. Im using it right now.

I get a warning that i have to have messaging and data on my plan though. I have to add messaging you think?

UPDATE:
Never mind i keep getting a error that says The MD5 digests do not match (code: 403) when i try to log into any im client.
I think sprint wants to charge for data and messaging. Maybe this is why we didnt get this app?
