Windows Live! Messenger (Beta): UPDATED 11/04 New Version

[Johan Lindh]

When I try to install the cab on my wm5 device it stops after a few seconds and displays the message ...not installed. Any ideas why?

[schettj]

it uses a lot of space - you have enough free storage (internal)?

[jkfromak]

sweet it is finally connecting for me, we'll see how it works.

[dlbrummels]

Does the latest Beta install to card yet ?

[schettj]

I installed it, it works, but I guess I am missing something

how do you get rss feeds in?
can you connect to non-msn IM systems?

and yeah - needs to go on the card, it's a pig!

[dlbrummels]

Yahoo Go! does more than this, yawn.

[dlbrummels]

In this incarnation it is just a waste of space, delete.

Yeah, not sure what happened to the RSS feeds, they were in the older version.

Re: Size

It is large but remember, this is installing next to not replacing, your current MSN program on the system.

I imagine the "final" version will overwrite and replace the system files, resulting in less space.

The final benefits of WM Live! will be two fold:

1) Free Push Hotmail, which is pretty impressive
2) an effecient IM client (power consumption wise)

I think if it comes installed in a ROM it'll be a real nice alternative to other systems. Plus, it's still beta so it has some refinements yet to be made.

Does this work on the 700wx? If it does, can someone please post a screenshot? Thanks!

I installed this, and it caused my phone to freeze after it hibernates and I turn it back on from the top..

I had to do a hard reset to get rid of the freezing, even after un-installing EVERY program on my PPC-6700, it still made it freeze somehow..
