I was searching my phone today, and came across a file in the Windows folder called windowslive.home. It peaked my interest a bit.

Now I copied these files to my application data/home folder:

windowslive.home
windowslive.jpg
windowsliveLS.jpg (This one is landscape version for the Q. The other prob wasn't needed, I was just being safe)

Then I selected "Windows Live Default" as my homescreen. NICE!

sure would be nice to see a screen shot. Thanks for the info, got a Q at work that I have to look at on Tuesday.

Just picture this with a lighter background, an landscape of course:

Windows live IM service, and push hotmail, all free

And this process takes about a minute, even quicker if you use the Activesync File Explorer

That a standard function Windows live for all WM devices. It comes in the ROM. All you have to do is install and config it to your need and check the box for the services to show up in the homescreen. Had it on my old Q and I have it on my 6800

On the Q9H there is no icon to install it, and it's nowhere in the start menu. AFAIK this is the only way to install it.

And of course its in ROM, all I did was copy files from one folder of the phone to another
