live messenger service being turned off - Windows Phone 7 General

Hello All,
I was just reading engadget, and I saw an article that states that the Microsoft Live Messenger will be turned off in 2013, and we will be forced to use Skype.
Does anyone know what will happen to the messenger integration in WP7? Will it continue to work?
It would a real shame if it doesn't work any more as I use it much more that text messages.
Comments???

Hi++
about the windows live in wp7 :
fortunately we have a second chance {wp 7.8 } so you don't need to worry about this ! :highfive:

and about skype :
I think new skype has powerful features and it's a good choice !

WP8 was supposed to have Skype inbuilt. While WP7.8 would need separate app for Skype.
Now after MS decision to discontinue Windows Messenger and use Skype for all IM, things would get interesting with IM on WP7.X

nothing will change because microsoft just drops the windows live messenger application. everything else (all the "windows live" services like mail, contact, messaging itself etc.) will remain the same.

Yahoo Go beta is old news that I know of. It's kinda a memory hog as well.

[APP]MyPhone Beta cab

John at pocketpc.ch stumbled over a hidden link to the MyPhone Beta cab in WinMobile 6.5. Windows Live-IDs have not yet been activated for MyPhone, but since the cloud offering will be presented next week at Barcelona keep this on your radar if you like. Link to Beta below.

link to developer site??
Are you kiddin' me?

didnt work with my hotmail account from germany. maybe l8or
It is expected that MS' Steve Ballmer will introduce the service (and activate Live-accounts) for next Monday at 3 pm, or Tuesday 11 am CET at the latest.
I don't know about having all my contact details kept in microsoft's server though. Are you guys able to trust that such information could only be access by you and you only? Just for the benefit of not having to worry about your phone getting stolen?
Besides contact details, there are much much more sensitive data which I worry about. Think of all the stuff we keep in our e-wallet! Do we let microsoft keep those in their server too?
No thanks!
I have no issues with my contacts, even the ones that raise suspicions in the U.S. Need a cloud solution that all my devices can access, tired of syncing over devices, but the first cloud service to offer Exchange Push Email (Gmail employees say its in the works) will get my data. Nokia, that just lost three weeks of customer data, certainly not...
As for my e-wallet, would not trust it to anyone...
i need a promo invite so bad please
PM one if you can, anybody ? =)

[app] Midomi Music recognizer

Hi guys, I found this little app on the net and didn't see a post about this one.... This is the same app found on the new Samsung Omnia II
" Midomi is a Windows Mobile app, which lets you hum or play a song to get the song’s title and artist name."

I tried it on my Touch HD (dutty's wm 6.5 R9) but I get a connection error.. someone else luckier??
Edit: only works on wifi.. bummer..
With a Regeditor change:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Melodis\Midomi\midomiGU IDType
from 3 to 1 !!
Solution posted HERE by Ikkari.
Yes, it should work, but it keeps saying 'no songs found'.
So either I suck at humming and singing, or it won't work...
It works for me.
For me NOT WORKING im with ENERGY 3 6.5 WM ROM with Manila 2.1 Not working
I install the program and after this when i open the program nothing heppand ALL BUTONS NOW WORKING no matter where im clicking
this application is not very good like sony erricsion track id in their java devices
any how grab mode works better then singing/humming mode
but its ability to recognize music is average
"better to have something than nothing "
sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. But oh well, I guess I'm suck in singing lol
EDIT: Not really always working on Manila 2.5.1 =S
Downloads must be removed...
Midomi recently became a PAID app
You'll find it in the Windows Mobile Marketplace for $5.99 I think. So, it's now illegal to distribute it here on XDA. We don't want anyone to get in trouble, so remove the download links now.
Everyone else, download the free version while you can !! LOL.

Sending contacts using SMS

Is there a way to bring up a contact on my phone and then forward that using SMS? I have searched everything I can think of and haven't been able to find an answer. My wife uses me as her personal 411 and I can't tell you how much it would mean to me if I could bring up a contact she's asking about then choose and option to SMS send it to her.
Help please, if you have any suggestions.
you mean send phone number (contact) with sms ?
Yes.. exactly!
Andy... Where is the app for that screenshot?
Major warning guys
Do not click on the picture above as it sends you to a site that is nastily infected... just in case this only happened for me, please do not hesitate to delete this message... anyrate, just a friendly warning...
Also, yes please, tell me where we can get this extension!
This is a feature in WM 6.5 (or maybe it's 6.5.x) anyway - I know I can send a contact (or part of a contact, you get to select what exactly) by SMS or Beam (infra-red if you still have an irda port)
I can't screen shot (don't have the app installed) but have tested it - it works great between WM devices, however sending info to an iPhone results in absolutely nothing happening - so must be a WM native thing?
Aj
Im also lookin for something like this i guess i got into the habot after i used a nokia when my old phone was on the fritz i could send a contacts details to anybody and they would recieve it no problem. While my TP2 which is supposed to be such a "smart" phone cant send a contacts details??
try this, it's not perfect though:

Nice,
when it's ready ?
Did anybody care to read the article or is at least capable of understanding the meaning of "concept"? These are just pictures. The designer is currently looking for developers for this concept.
I don't like it - I think it doesn't fit into WP7.
I was at a conference at Microsoft's HQ where they talked about Windows 8 and Metro.
They took an old fashioned RSS reader and slowly 'converted' it to Metro, as they explain every step. From what I understand, In WP7:
You display on the main area only whats needed - otherwise there's the [...] area for settings and configurations (called the App Bar).
Element design is kept to a minimum - jagged edges are too much, also, the borders around the icons are too much.
The circular elements don't fit well into a squared environment.
It's really nice designed. Shame I can't help, need to learn new technologies I am at .net aspx jquery ajax
This will depend on the OEM pretty much and what the Radio version / Firmware allow the camera to do.
for me its to much on the screen, if the first picture should represent it in use??? the screws are to much and to big. i know it should be like on an DSLR but its to much, it has nothing with metro to do.
I see RETRO here
BTW I could buy as appears in the Market
