Guest JampoTT Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Been hunting through the menus, and can't seem to find it, which is a major worry... Can someone advise what is the name of the executable that their MSN runs on their device, and can anyone confirm MSN is in the expected build of the MDA Pro?

Guest Pondrew Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Uhoh. A while ago there was real concern at the suggestion Messenger would only be available in Windows Mobile 5 to subscribers of Pocket MSN (ie no longer free). Really hope this is not the case but...

Guest dazza12 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Shouldn't be too much of a problem. Agile Messenger should handle this, and there's a few other alternatives. If this is correct, MS have shot themselves in the foot. Either that or Tmobile has asked for it to be removed as they want users to text rather than use MSN.

Guest JampoTT Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I don't particularly mind paying for it, but really liked the way it was integrated with the OS in 2003/2003SE... Agile Mobile was OK, but never quite as nice as the proper MSN for me... Plus, I gather the owers of Agile Mobile are going to be charging too, according to their website.

Guest JampoTT Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 To answer my own post, YUP - it looks like you now have to pay for MSN in their POCKET MSN bundle... £10.99 (UK) one-off, so hardly a bank-breaker - but a pain in the butt nonetheless...

Guest rickyburke Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 That is just damn cheeky! something that we can happily use for nothing on our existing smartphones or pocket pc's! Now their going to charge us? Cant wait till someone finds a way to use the wm2003se .exe on windows mobile 5. Microsoft can go whistle if they think their getting £10.99 from me, i know its not much, so why are they charging it? not like their short of a few bob.

Guest inspectorgadjet Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I think it might depend on the operator. On the i-mate JasJar Pocket MSN is included as part of the default installation. And the MSN Messenger is located in Pocket MSN. I find it a bit annoying that I now have to go through an extra stage to get to MSN actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dazza12 Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 Is it the actual program that's missing or just the access via the device restricted? There's also the possibility of using Web Messenger, but this may involve additional costs as it is a web page. Not sure whether the on board browser will support it however.

Guest rickyburke Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 i dont mind if its located within pocket msn, because i have it set as a hardware button anyway. Just hope its in the M5000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MitchellO Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=2559 Try this, and see if you have MSN still on the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bro Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Tried that and no, It's not there!... T-mobile musta removed/not asked for it... looks like I'll have to get me card out ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MitchellO Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Id go with Agile Messenger, or ask somebody with a WM5 device to extract the MSN Messenger files from their device. I would, but I don't have mine yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MitchellO Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Its actually MSN Messenger that we are trying to unlock. You may want to post a question over at xda-dev. I'm sure they can help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GDawes Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 It looks like you can edit a config file and get the device to reconfigure (reboot and load cabinets) and have msn. If someone can translate this link I would be obliged. http://www.sda-forum.de/thread.php?postid=19226 The MSN web site quotes MSN as being FREE. my MDA PRO has less functionality than my MDA Compact. Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pondrew Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Looks like I'd better take this opportunity to refer all to the forum rules. No asking for or distributing copyrighted software on MoDaCo. MSN Messenger for Pocket PC Phone is without any doubt what so ever copyrighted. Any decision taken by Microsoft and MSN to charge for Pocket MSN which includes MSN Messenger for Pocket PC is entirely their right and this forum won't condone copyright theft.
