Guest peekie Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 While searching the internet shops for applications that run on my SP5 i came across a nice little freeware application that runs msn messenger BUT has all the icons and smiles , something the built in msn does not have , its called emsn and is a java application. For more info and to download go to Handango.com Works on all the smartphones that have built in java :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tech Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 (edited) the smiley's were kept out for alot of reasons: performance its meant to be "mobile" - not the full thing like on the PC storage requirements COST of sending smileys in terms of price over GPRS... graphics require alot more "bandwidth" than just text Thanks for that though - good to know for people who have alot of GPRS on their tariff :) Edited November 27, 2005 by Tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peekie Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Dont know if it sends smileys but displays them , the reason i posted here is most would use the wifi on their phones ( unless your a C600 user )and i remember paul complaining he did not have the smiley displayed on his msn messenger , on gprs all internet is expensive sadly :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chrisc28 Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 The smileys are not actually "sent". The software is supposed to replace any instances of ":-)" with the smiley symbol. That's usually what happens in most phones. I'm sure it is an easy feature to implement in MSN Messenger Mobile, but was somehow forgotten.

Guest pisquee Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Guess that I am old school and prefer smilelys to stay in their ascii forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the other smileys are just sent as text and so there is no extra data charges, the MSN app just looks for the string and replaces it with a graphic.
