Just informing you all that the Windows Live Messenger application offered by blackberry.com is now working on Verizon for the 8330

co-worker says it works on 8130 w/ Telus. Trying to find it to download and test now.

I just tried to download it and it said my device does not meet the system requirements `that are needed to support windows live messanger......you got a working link?

[Kimmi]

I went to www.blackberry.com/instantmessaging on my phone

Clicked Search

Then chose Windows Live Messenger( At this stage there was a choice btwn. Yahoo Mess., Google Talk and Windows Live Mess....ICQ and AOL Mess. did not have active links)

I just downloaded the app this afternoon, so I thought it would be working for all Verizon customers with Curves....

I can also confirm that Windows Live Messenger now works on Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330's...AIM and ICQ isnt yet supported it seems. Next step to make my Blackberry Complete: Traffic Enhanced VZNavigator.

Does anyone know if Windows Live Messenger (with Verizon) uses text messages or data?

[MegletTX]

FWIW I just followed that link on my phone and successfully downloaded/logged in to Windows Live as well. Google also downloaded although I didn't log in yet. I have a Pearl 8130.

If you download from the berry site (yahoo, gtalk, msn) etc it uses data.

Thank you, that's what I needed to know.

anyone else experiencing problems with it lately not being able to connect to the server...?

AIM works too! I clicked on search and that was the first thing. I hit download and its running fine. Much more stable than the I'm app from vz start page.
