Apparently it is proposed to be charged on other platforms eg on Nokia's running symbian etc...

I've just logged into

http://billing.microsoft.com/

to look at my services, apparently my XBox Live gold account is the only thing I have. Nothing there about a 30day trial for Windows Live etc.

I wonder whats going on, we need official MS word on this. Someone (Paul?) should put word of this out to some other sites (engadget/gizmodo) and see what kind of experience people are having elsewhere. Just an idea...

Happening here on my Symbian S60 T-Mobile (Debranded) Latest Firmware'd N95 (Thats a mouthful!)

rumours elsewhere say two euros a month...

I'd probably pay this in fairness, £1.50 a month isn't too bad (guess it all depends on how much you use Windows Live though. As a daily user, 5p a day isn't much). Certainly wouldn't pay more than £3 for it though.

That said, this service should be free. Hoping I haven't given any Microsoft people justification for charging now I've said i'd pay £1.50

I can't find a way to edit it, so I have posted a comment on it.

/me looked at Digg's help content.

Edit - found it - have to e-mail the support to edit it.

No way I'd pay for it, out of sheer principle. Pay a subcription for the software, then pay more to my network to use it  

for the same reason I wont have Sky TV in my house, subscription charge, ads, pay-per-views, come on enoughs enough,

but I digress  

[tsutton]

Email sent to add "Mobile" in it - hope they will do it quick.

In my defense, title was copied from the subject line of this post.

Happening on my Ameo/Orange so seems to be across the board

[PaulOBrien]

Here's hoping it's a mistake and they flicked a switch they shouldn't have? Not overly optimistic tho!

Just tried and get no issues.

o2 XDA Graphite, WM6
Rom UK_v3.40_XB_070711

Would try on SPV C600 but Orange seems to have major network issues in Nottingham area at the moment, no network coverage for around 2 hours.
