As of today i'm the proud owner of an Artemis to...
Coming from an MDA 3 this thing is a huge leap forward
The only thing that kinda bugs me is that i havent been able to find any MSN like apps on it.
It seems that Pocket MSN only goes as far as Winmobile 2003, perhaps any of you have a solution here?
Mine has Pocket MSN on it. Original ROM with no mods to it bought from Expansys. Not sure why your's wouldn't. In a pinch, you could use: http://mobile.msn.com to use the web version of it. Gives you everything except MSN Messenger but you can search the forums here for the Live Messenger Beta.

The Wonders of forums
once again forums come to the rescue. i got my MDA the other day, and have just spent the very good part of my VERY *cough cough* busy looking for msn solutions. searched hours on microsoft website ending up with nothing..
And then i had a PROPER look through XDA forum....and surprise surprise i found, installed and tested the soluotion.
i do hope everyone enjoys this find

Contacts to Address Book
hey guyz,
has anyone tried that file i post the other day.
i installed it and used it for a good 1hr. the only thing i was not happy with was the first time you use it, it asks do u want to add contacts to device address book. the only options you have is OK for yes and Cancel. Do cancel and you cant login. So its forcing you add the contacts, which i dont really want. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get around this??

ok i thought would be smart and delete the contacts from the device...hmmm not the best idea. Seems that it deleted the contacts within msn messenger as well.
anyone know i dont know how to get them back. without typing each one of my 200 contacts
why do microsoft have to make things so difficult
UPDATE 15/12/06 22:00
hi guys just to update you on this issue with the contacts. got my normal msn contacts back, thank god i do backups.
i have synced my MDA with my Apple mac and its built-in address book. Something i noticed on the MDA contacts was that there was one contact whose number, email/msn, address i had. and in his details it had his msn email under a field called IM (instant messeging). So i went back to my Mac Address book to see if it had similer field... and yep it did. So i spent a good 1hr changing all my 200 contacts email field into IM field...
Re-Synced the MDA and computer.... *wants to rip hair out*.... thats right no luck. Now my mda address book doesnt reconise the IM field from the Mac Address book...so the mda has no EMAILS at all now.
Hi all.
My Orbit has MSN installed, but instead I use the free Agile Messenger. Here's from the developers:
"Agile Messenger is the most feature rich and versatile Instant Messenger for mobile phones on the market today. Agile Messenger is used daily by over 2,000,000 users and has been perfected based on feature requests and feedback from tens of thousands of users. No other mobile Instant Messenger is as mature and reliable as Agile Messenger. "
You can get it here: http://www.getjar.com/products/5317/AgileMessenger
only about 500k file. Oh yeah, did I mention it's free?
Damn, I had to edit this post...this WAS free, I can see now that there's only a free trial. Well as they grow, the greed grows with them I guess... Even when I installed the previous FREE version after starting the program they FORCED me to upgrade, and then the upgraded app informed me that it will expire in 7 days unless...well you know.
ok, so just to do a quick recap.
I installed the above posted file, all went well, my contacts were imported and are now in my device address book and they are still on my msn on my PC.
What should I not do (or do) to not lose all my contacts?
oh and can the good gentleman that helped me before please tell me how to make a back up of my MSN contacts. CHeers

hi will,
congrats installing it.
this is the problem everyone is facing with live messenger. theres a thread about this problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282540
one thing you DEF DONT!!! want to do (speaking from experiance lol) is delete the contacts from your device - Do that and contacts from your contacts PC msn messenger will happly be removed also.
if you want to back-up your PC msn that should be very easy. My experinace is based on msn on Apple Mac. Shouldnt be too different on Windows. YOu simply go to File > Save Contact List ... And choose a location to want.
Hope that helps.
Syncing on a mac

hi rawedge,
the 2 ways i know of syncing is two apps
1) great app called Missing Sync can be found at here and is great syncs iCal, Address, Time, Photos, iTunes, etc see website for more details. Its one of the best app i have used for syncing.
2) the other one is called PocketMac i think this app doesnt have support for WM5 yet but should do soon.
http://www.pocketmac.net/
this is what there website says about WM5
"Windows Mobile 5:
We are currently testing cumulative updates for all of our Windows Mobile products (PocketMac Pro, PocketMac Lite and PocketMac Phone). We expect to have updates out shortly and will email all of our customers the moment they're available."
You can download both apps for a triel period, after which you have to pay for it. Altho i think Missing Sync is worth the money.
As far as i know of iSync doesnt sync with Windows Mobile platform. But i think missing sync uses some of the technology behind iSync for sync information.
Hoep this helps. Anything else just holla
thanks
I've just looked at missing sync however the artemis/02xda orbit isn't listed in their supported phones. has anyone got it to succesfully work? Don't want to fork out ££ if it's not going to work

You could use Windows Live! Mobile. Please read the Wiki and search the forums next time before asking such a repetitive question .
You can get it from here (it's in the .zip file)
Ive just installed it on my phone, it really is the dogs danglies, far better than that £10.99 pocket msn rubbish Microsoft sell.
I used mobile live to get hotmail BUT this causes the wake up problem for me even after I remove it. I now use a fresh rom with GETMAIL program. I use the getmail freeware on my home desktop and forward all hotmail recieved to a pop3 capable account which I can use the built in outlook to check. Until a new version of live comes out I do not recommend it.

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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPETITIVE INFO — THE CINGULAR ADVANTAGE:
T-Mobile, Sprint/Nextel and Verizon all offer an Instant Messaging application on select devices:
· T-Mobile provides an IM application for select PDAs, BlackBerry devices. The client is pre-loaded, and supports AIM, Yahoo!, MSN and ICQ within one application. Customers are charged on a per message basis, or can use from a variety of messaging packages and bundles which include messaging.
· Sprint/Nextel provides an IM application on select “Power Vision” capable phones with support for AIM, MSN, and Yahoo! using separate IM applications. Customers are charged by kilobyte (kb) usage, and can choose from a variety of data bolt-ons that include unlimited IM.
· Verizon provides an IM application on select BlackBerry and “Get-It-Now” capable devices. The application is available via a download, and supports AIM, MSN, and Yahoo! within one application. Customers are charged on a per message basis, or can use from a variety of messaging packages.
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

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 guys,
I'm now offering exchange mailboxes to users (subscription based service). right now i see two, one by austindkelly in the wizard forum (he's disappeared for over a month and looks like he doens't offer his service any more) and one by denial in the kaiser section ($5/month). I thought I'd offer up a similar service starting with the hermes group (cheaper of course) with a few extra tidbits of joy...
- supports iphone exchange services, saves a heck of money over apple's mobileme service!
- outlook web access (with the advanced interface)
- 1gb quota
- both SSL as well as standard port options
- *IMAP access* - you don't even need outlook, syncs flawlessly with your phone.
- *MAPI* outlook access - hook up your outlook on your PC to sync with my service which in turn syncs with your phone. no plugging in ever needed!
- alias included (get your own email)
- changing your password through outlook web access (one-way non-reversible encryption).
I figured it's a bit of an overkill having my own exchange server that's serving a single account (i.e. mine). so why not open it up!
Price is $10 for 3 months, $19 for 6 months.
Please PM me if you're interested... Already have a number of beta testers who I've received only positive responses from so far. I'll probably set up your account within 12 hours (probably less).
And yes, will give you unused credit money back etc etc if you're unsatisfied for whatever reason. I'm really not in this for the money, it's more to utilize something I spent hours building up, plus to cover the costs of my internet / server hardware.
And, as usual, if you need any files hosted for xda-developers just let me know, i'm already hosting over 40 ROM images and serving 5-6gb/day in ROMs from the wiki!
cheers!
free accounts:
will provide 10 rotating free accounts at any given time for test purposes, will base it off of usage. so if you use the free account, i'll keep it up indefinitely, if not then account will be removed after 14 days and given to the next person in line.
Free accounts do not have MAPI access, have 50mb storage, have no aliases either.
Depending on utilization I may increase this 10 free account limit.
Chamelion, I will be pming you later in regards to two accounts, there are a couple things I need to research beforehand.

Hi !
I can understand. No problem.
I'm 35 myself but my last daughter is only 2 weeks old ... that's why I'm still alive and kicking at 2.30 am (Paris Time).
Cheers for the account. I'm giving it a try and will report soon.
current users : please feel free to give feedback on this thread too! appreciate it via PM but it'd be nice for other users to get some 3rd party reviews of the service!
How to use?
Chamileon, how can I use?
W/O internet access through phone company?
With internet access through free wifi?
TIA

Hi everyone,
I have to acknowledge that the service provided by Chamelion is working flawlessly. I've been using it for a week now and did not encounter any trouble except encoding issues but apparently not from his side. Flexmail is getting crazy with encoding, but poutlook is working great.
For sure, give it a try (if not more) !
thanks Chamelion for the good experience.
Note also that Chamelion is very accessible and quick to respond.
appreciate the positive review DR400, thanks
I have also been using the service for a week, and both Web Access and poutlook are working great.
Great!
I just signed up for the exchange service with Azim and it is great. Not only is it working wonderfully, his customer service and response time has been great. You can't beat what he offers with a stick!
Sign up peeps!
Scarlet
thanks for the feedback guys and gals!
Customer Service is A+, Exchange works flawlessly.
Great Job Azim, and Thank You!
few people are asking about synching from multiple sources...
from my understanding i can only give you one alias for your accounts, which means you can't select your "from." however you're free to forward as many accounts as you wish to the account i create for you, but you can only send from one "alias."
another multi-synching thing people are asking is whether you can sync calendar with your desktop and email with my service. sure!! its best that way in fact - that's what i do. i have my outlook on my desktop which has my calendar, contacts, and only sync my email via push on exchange to my server... you can even take this a step further and set up IMAP access so what you see in your email client is the same as what you'll see in your pocket outlook... if you delete from your desktop, whoosh it disappears from your PDA too
Im having lots of problems with K9 and my IMAP mail accounts. From time to time it shows as there is new mail, but it doesn't ring for it and when entering the account won't download it. I have to go to the stock HTC app to read the mail.
Can you please recommend me any other push mail app that I could try?
