AT&T finally pushes out BlackBerry service books for AIM and ICQ : Boy Genius Report

saw this and thought i'd share it with those who wanted to know if there was AIM for the bold.

Sweet! Downloading now!!!

[xgrudgex]

Works like a champ!

[VoltaicShock]

Do I need to log into BIS and resend the service books?

If this is the case I can get rid of JiveTalk as I only really talk on AIM and maybe Yahoo.

[th3gh05t]

I didn't have to resend any service books. Worked as soon as I installed it.

Deleted JiveTalk shortly after.

For those of you that were using the manually loaded .alx files, go to mobile.blackberry.com and download anyways since this is version 2.1.37 as opposed to 2.1.32 that was in the original thread.

I suggest you simply do a battery pull (again?) and that should clear up your problem. As has been said around here many times, a battery pull solves most of what ails your Blackberry even ailments caused by a battery pull.

Also, does anyone know if the Yahoo IM client will work on the Bold now?

[DJames]

I just did it and it worked... dang doing a battery pull is amazing lol.

[missnina03]

I installed aim and shortly yahoo started working so I deleted jive talk.

Does this use SMS or data?

I believe this aim is runing off the data plan however correct me if I'm wrong the oz aim client runs off sms (it is terribly slow tho)

I was wondering the same thing, as mentioned oz ran off text but googletalk runs off data, anyways, I contacted my AT&T bus. rep last night, I was told I'd get an answer today, I'll follow up when I do.

The AIM app that this thread is referring to works 100% through your data connection. It does not use SMS. It works in the exact same way as the GoogleTalk client, the Yahoo! Messenger client, and BBM (with the exception of not being based around your PIN). SMS is not needed.

And yes, for the record, Oz sucks.

where can i download aim?

where can i download aim?

please tell me you did not just ask that...

EDIT: i'm feeling sort of nice right now for some unknown reason. go to mobile.blackberry.com in your phone's browser and you'll see the link.
