Removing Live messenger, which I consider a critical component of WM5/WM6/WM6.1, and requiring users to get from mobile operators are just plain stupid in my book. The mobile operators version are never as well written as the MS ones.....

Brandon, thanks for the update.

Microsoft should consider phones all possibilities instead of only one which is - "Ok, here's the deal: Mobile operators typically work with OEMs (such as HTC or Samsung) to select specific devices with specific features that make business sense"

I bought HTC Touch Cruise GSM Version which is not tied to any operator as how Microsoft thinks.

I really feel bad about this offering :(

To All - the Windows Live for Windows Mobile Team has made a blog post regarding Windows Live Messenger (or lack there-of) in the new Windows Live for Windows Mobile bits. I encourage everyone to read their blog post:

Brandon, Yes. I had the Windows Live Messenger OEM with me and it disappeared after installing the new version of Windows Live.

"Now - you had Windows Live for Windows Mobile on your phone previously which included Messenger (as it came with your phone) and when you installed the new bits Messenger disappeared. Am I correct?"

Yeah, that happened to me too :(.

chakkaradeep, I totally understand folks frustrations here. Unfortunately I do not have any specific reason why Messenger is not included outside of the answer I gave in a previous blog post on Windows Live for Windows:

http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsexperience/archive/2008/05/14/put-windows-live-on-your-windows-mobile-phone.aspx

Let me repeat the answer here:

We've chosen to do this (not include Messenger) to support carrier's plans for IM services for their phones. If there is no IM client on your phone, you can try our browser based version of Windows Live Messenger to chat with friends or ask your carrier about IM options for your phone.

Now - you had Windows Live for Windows Mobile on your phone previously which included Messenger (as it came with your phone) and when you installed the new bits Messenger disappeared. Am I correct?

Thanks,

Brandon

Brandon, this post has explained pretty much the problem with the new Windows Live - http://www.geekzone.co.nz/freitasm/5476

I think many users will be happy if Windows Live was released with Windows Live Messenger. I dont know why its needs to be got from OEM. Is there any specific reason?

I love this app, but it really needs to sync with my hotmail calendar. That would finally let me say good-bye to Outlook. Additionally allowing the linked accounts or multiple account like the desktop version would be great.

I love Windows Live for Windows Mobile. But why no Messenger? you guys just released a Messenger client for Blackberry, so what gives? The loyal Windows Mobile users should get an updated messenger client before the Crackberry crowd, come on!

This new version also does not have the options to un-sync contacts once they are synced unless you switch Live Id account - here is a screenshot - http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d74/chaks_2k/sshot000-1.jpg

You can see the options are disabled :(

Hi Brandon - My first problem is with uninstalling Windows Live which is there in my mobile. When I bought my Touch Cruise, Windows Live was installed by default. I am not able to uninstall it anymoe. Tried many ways, but the Remove Programs or WMDC Remove Programs don't show Windows Live as installed. Any suggestions?

And also, the version I have was making my mobile slower and as soon as I stopped Windows Live, my mobile is now really fast. The Contacts without Live Contacts sync works fast browsing the contacts. Have to test the new version atleast for this reason.

Regarding Contacts - Windows Live initially asked me whether to sync Live Contacts and I chose Yes. And after that I was not able to choose not to sync them :(. I had to switch account to remove all my Live Contacts. Providing a way to sync/un-sync would be really helpful.

Thanks

Cool!!!

For some odd reason, I am in the Windows Live for Windows Mobile beta, but the client completely stopped working. This is great, but there isn't any Windows Live Messenger :(. That was a great part of the client. I wish Microsoft would offer it seperate along with this client also.
