I have been reading alot of people trying to get Windows Live messenger. I have an AT&T 8310 Curve, and I have windows live installed. To do this, I did the following. From my curve, I went to mobile.blackberry.com, clicked on Instant messaging for BlackBerry smartphones under whats hot, clicked search, and proceeded to download and run windows live messenger on my AT&T curve. As everyone else did, I got an error that my device was not compatable when I tried to download from blackberry on my comp. Hope this helps as I could not find this information on the forums any where!
Hmmmm....well, after having used WLM for a day or so, I have to say I'm going to go back to JiveTalk lol. Even though MSN is the only IM service I use, JiveTalk has too many nice features that WLM is missing.
But thanks again for the info. At least now I know the money I spent on JT was worth it lol.
First is the way JT separates your conversation into bubbles - your friend's text goes on the left, and your text goes on the right. It makes it a lot easier to keep track of the conversation flow, especially on a small screen.
Second, I can set up JT so that it alerts me when one of my favorite contacts comes online (its set up individually, by contact). You can do the same thing with WLM, but WLM only provides the alert once. From what I can tell you can't make the setting permanent like you can with JT.
I'm not sure these two features are worth going out and buying the software, but since I've already paid for it I might as well use it.
Can anybody tell me how much data the WLM application will use. Does it constantly poll a server and use up my data plan or is it like the BB Messenger and only use data to send and receive?
I also use only MSN but bought jive, for the express purpose of it actually having auto-reconnect. The bundled MSN app would constantly lose connection, and then would have to be manually reconnected.
