Instant Messenger Application Now Available for Cingular 8500/8525 and TREO 750!
START AND END DATE:
4/23/2007 - Ongoing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW:
The Instant Messaging application, currently found on the E62 and Blackjack, is now available via download for the Cingular 8500/8525 and Treo 750. Customers will be able to enjoy access to Yahoo! Messenger, AOL Instant Messaging (AIM), and Windows Live Messenger communities through one user interface. In the future all new PDAs and Smartphones will launch with the Instant Messaging application preloaded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY SELLING POINTS:
· Mobile IM from AT&T Mobility offers customers a familiar desktop-like IM experience with features that include existing community user names and passwords, a chat conversation window, buddy lists, presence status, and emoticons.
· Mobile IM offers an immediate, yet informal communication option that other communications cannot provide (e.g. voice, email, text messaging). Consumers can extend their desktop IM community to their mobile device and vice versa (Mobile-to-PC and PC-to-Mobile, and Mobile-to-Mobile IM communications), enjoy 24/7 instant connectivity to their contacts, and communicate in environments that are not conducive to traditional voice conversations.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have a link to new IM? Or can you tell me how to get it?
thanks
no link as yet? or will we have to wait till the 23rd.
Maybe I'm missing it...
Is this application using sms for IM or data plan?
Does it charge the messages as a text message, or as data?
In other words.. If I have the unlimited DATA plan and NO SMS, will I get unlimited IM or would I need to pay per message sent via. SMS?
Most likely text, I believe that is how the blackjack works.
if this is true, then i'd guess the release of the IM app is related to the expected friday (4/20) announcement for unlimited SMS/MMS on cingular/att. the existing $19.99 messaging extreme 3000 package will apparently become messaging unlimited.

Here is the link that showed me how to download it. Basically you need to download the file through MEdia Net from your phone. It's a cab file.
http://www.cingular.com/learn/messaging-internet/messaging/faq-instant-messaging.jsp#find
here is the 8525 aim cabfile... Its the one from cingular.. it seems like a nice app but for some reason i am not unable to receive ims from ppl when i tested it... also maybe someone can hack it and MAKE IT USE DATA
i know someone here can do it so there ya go
to answer your question.... there is a program that u can use that does just use your data plan, its called imov messenger there is a free version but I would advise you to pay the $20.00 for the enterprise version......
http://www.movsoftware.com/products/imov/imov.htm
if you need help finding a free version just let me kno
This is the Instant Messenger that I use. I've used them all from IM+ to Verichat, etc... Mundu is very nice. The full version is only $11 USD. It says for smartphone, but it works for WM5/WM6 just like it should. You also have the ability to send files from PPC to users as well.
There is a 5 day free trial if you wanna check it out first...

I use IM on my phone when I'm in a meeting and need to touch base with other techs to get them to fix a server or something. But it doesn't seem real easy to use, and i'm concerned for my battery.
Which IM client seems to have the best interface and battery usage?
Thanks,
Rob

well i have this program running while im at work all day and it doesnt really drain m battery that much... it also depends on of your in a 3G area or not... when you are using HSDPA/UMTS it consumes alot more battery life than when your you just on an EDGE/GPRS network.... just a thought
IMOV sucks you have to use the stylist for everything it does not have a good user interface..

Yes I have noticed this and I doubt the enterprise version is any different however its a small price to pay for the program using data instead of sms so in effect making it free for me to IM as much as I want.

the aim program is still buggy it takes alittle bit to send messages and it does not receive any at all.. plus when you sign on it shows you on as a mobile device..
yea i hear that there are problems with the aim program.... but i havent really tried it out that much, i jus try and live with imov messenger.... if i had the know how or the time i would make an IM client that ran off the jabber service (like imov) but make it a little more user friendly... maybe someone can decompile imov and the IM client and make something miraculous out of it... hmmm. I'll start reading.....
Hey,
Surprisingly yesterday when being redirected to the yahoo Go page on my Xperia I got an option to sign up for the Yahoo! GO beta (which I am assuming is WVGA) since it will be supported on the X1.
Though the sign up page mentioned that it might take some 'weeks' to get the software because of high number of beta testers.
I was wondering, does anyone on the forum already have a copy of the wvga yahoo go app??
Regards,
Nabeel

lol..i dont think so
Is Yahoo GO available yet? All-in-one messaging programs always suck, and I want Yahoo GO.
Is it here yet?
I have been using IM+ all-in-one instant messaging app, and I find it all right. And yea, I'm looking forward to Yahoo Go as well.
palringo is my choice, maybe im too lazy to switch?
So would it be possible to make an offical-ish looking app that works like MSN on blackberrys? I bloody hate the 3rd party IM clients im currently stuck with, I only care about MSN not AIM or bloody Yahoo.
I don't mind making up art work, I can't code to save myself however

what do you mean that works on blackberrys?
If you mean one that can communicate with BBIM then thats not possible, thats only for Blackberrys.
Also there is no official android MSN app. Ebuddy works fine, you only need to add a MSN account and then it wont show or ask you about anything else. It will auto sign in your MSN account when you launch your app and then you can start chatting away. There is nothing wrong with Ebuddy
msntalk is free on the market. working very fine for me. its not adfree but not that disturbing

No no for blackberry or to communicate, I mean something that looks like the MSN app provided by Microsoft/Blackberry, I am aware of eBuddy as I currently use it, In my opinion it is nasty but also the best of them, Why I was hoping to go about getting a official looking MSN app on Android
I would love a real MSN Client. Like in Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.
With:
- Change your User Icon
- Change your Nickname
- Change your Personal Message
- Offline Messaging
- Able to send and receive buzzers
- Able to send and receive files.
- While looking good without crappy iPhone-style bubbles (Looking at you eBuddy!)

I would be happy with just standard messages with the ability to change Nickname and personal message, User icon would be a bonus all the other stuff im not TO fussed about, especially since "Windows Live" has changed the send on files like photo to a sharing experience
Is it just T-Mo UK that blocks MSN via 3G, then (that is, the official version on :1873).
As far as im aware the "Official" version is made and provided by Three and only works on there network
Any pictures of this 'Three' version? Also, isn't there a way to reverse engineer their stuff
OT: I prefer to use Google Talk for chatting. Is anyone else using transports to connect to ICQ and MSN via Google Talk?

I have it on my phone but it's very basic.
I can't take a picture of it because I don't get a 3G singnal in my house. When you open MSN if it dosen't detect a 3G network it says Please connect to the 3G network and then just shuts down.

Thats why transports are used to chat to your ICQ and MSN (and other IM services) buddies from Google Talk.
As I said anybody that I actually want to talk to is on MSN, In the UK ICQ or AIM weren't really popular, so everyone of interest is on MSN
Correct!
And I said I'm chatting to MSN buddies from Google Talk App...
MSN Talk is the best I've found so far, does everything you want and has a very nice UI aswell.

Here it works all fine...
Can you tell which phone / rom / gtalk version ? And possibly the jabber msn transport server (doubt that would make a difference, protocol is protocol) ?
I had MSN/AIM/Yahoo Instant Messaging on my Samsung Epix, anyone know how to get this on the TouchPro2/Tilt2?
I read it's on "Window's Live" ...tried it on the phone...w/it being pre-installed...but still couldn't access instant messaging, only synced e-mail.
I was having this issue as well. I think the one that comes preloaded with the phone is only hotmail. You can go to the Marketplace and download the Windows Live from there which has the messenger, email, etc.
Certain roms come with the downloadable version as well if you ever decide to flash
I'll have to grab it Market Place.
Thank you!
You have to install Market Place, right?
I went to it on the phone, and it asks if I want to install it...just double checking.
Np and yeah the marketplace has to be installed before you can use it
Thanks
Found it here too: http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/messenger/default.aspx#
Palringo (burned into the Energy ROM) works really well on the TP2. I don't use MSN personally, but its included. I use Palringo with Google Chat, and it works great.

Cool! Found it! It has AIM and Yahoo Messenger too, if anyone was interested.
It wouldn't let me upload the file, so here's the link: http://www.palringo.com/en/gb/
Added the Windows Live CAB that has Messenger. On the Today Screen you can have Bing, Hotmail, and Messenger. If you don't want the Hotmail you just uncheck the "sync E-mail" box.
I have searched high and low for a good means of messaging my friends on their Apple devices. They of course want to use nothing but their default Messenger app, and as much as I like Google Voice, it doesn't support pictures or MMS.
I've tried imo.im on both devices with Google Talk, but it's proven to be a bit of a pain, particularly on the ios side.
I'm now looking at all other options, such as Kakaotalk (though I'm in the USA), Facebook Messenger, Skype, and so on. My Nexus 7 is wifi only, and I do not own or use a cellphone (so TabletTalk and Whatsapp won't work).
Considering all of that, can someone please point me in the right direction of a good app or solution?
I just use Google Voice, all my Ipad friends have no problems with it. You do need to get a GV# for best use.

So far that's been the best solution, but I can't send or receive photos, which is something a lot of my friends and family do.

Possibly. It was like pulling teeth to get them all to try IMO.im, and because that didn't go well I'm guessing any other client I ask them to install had better be downright amazing. I was looking at Kik, Skype, Kakaotalk, or possibly Facebook Messenger (though I was worried something like Facebook Messenger or Google+ Messenger would make conversations publicly accessible, which annoys me). Any specific opinions on which would be better?
I use Tango to chat with my fiancé who has an iPhone. Video chat works seamlessly as well. That's what I would suggest.

Oh wow... Tango looks pretty awesome! I didn't see it because it's under the Social category of the Play store rather than the Communications category like so many of the others.
Ok, this thread is now officially a Tango vs Kik discussion! I think it's between those two. Any opinions?

I don't trust G+ messenger anymore.. A lot of messages weren't delivered, and sending pictures is a pain in the *** I'm also searching a good messenger for me and my friends.. But there's none for me ATM. I tested every single one, like, 1000 companies got my contacts and numbers now, but nothing was good. The best, was kik, but, it's so.. Clean, too clean for me.. Sending pictures on kik is awesome and fast, also, it's the fastest messenger, even if you kill the process it still boots fast without any loading screen.. But it has like none features.. Just the standard ones.. Also it has a few.. Idk, weird things like when I receive a message from "mike" only, and open it, it goes to the contact list instead of the conversation... A no go for me.. Kik needs to grow with features, even tiny ones like what I've mentioned above.. But if you can live with a clean one, here you go, dolphinetly kik.
Oh.. I wrote a lot lol ^^

You could also use Textnow, it gives you a texting number that can recieve pictures, it's also bubble formatted messages like modern messengers (similar to iphone's) . As long as you use your number once in 90 days,it's yours forever. They've also added voip calling, but i think you have to pay for minutes on that.
I use hangouts to chat from iOS to nexus to OS X

GroupMe as a Cross Platform Chat
Hi I would suggest GroupMe.
https://groupme.com/
They have apps for almost any platform. You can do simultaneous log in with one account.
One group chat allows up to 50 participants.
