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 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.

much easier for both of us if you just forward your personal .com address e-mail to the e-mail address my server assigns you. if you have an alias, your replies will appear from your personal .com email, not from my server

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

You have to place both the jar and the jad in the same dir.
The jad only isn't enough.
Didn't try it though.
Install any email client with IMAP support and enjoy gmail.
^.^
Don't forget to activate IMAP protocol in your Gmail options !

Thanks for these suggestion. I am using really great e-mail application "ProfiMail". However I really like this on-line mobile java application of gmail (I am using it on my SE p990). This is very convenient and doesn't need to store messages locally - that's why I am trying to start this java gmail.
Adwinp: I could not to download separate JAD and JAR files, because the download and installation process is automated after click on link on page http://gmail.com/app
There is no installation files for download manually...
Is anybody can help me in this, please?

If you don't want to store them on your phone, use opera and access googles webmail... it has a mobile version as well...

I M A P does not store the messages locally - thats what its all about...
IMAP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
IMAP's ability to access messages (both new and saved) from more than one computer has become extremely important as reliance on electronic messaging and use of multiple computers increase, but this functionality cannot be taken for granted: the widely used Post Office Protocol (POP) works best when one has only a single computer, since it was designed to support "offline" message access, wherein messages are downloaded and then deleted from the mail server. This mode of access is not compatible with access from multiple computers since it tends to sprinkle messages across all of the computers used for mail access. Thus, unless all of those machines share a common file system, the offline mode of access that POP was designed to support effectively ties the user to one computer for message storage and manipulation. more...

I am getting an issue similar to yours where I go to m.google.com/mail/ and click "install", and it says there's no app that can open gmail.jad. On my old phone, it downloaded and installed it so I dunno what's up with this. eBuddy's online client for the Diamond and OperaMini both do the same things as well.
I'm on the Sprint version.
I have had the gmail app working for a while on my motoA3100 wm6.1 fone but suddenly it has ceased to remember the email settings after exiting ...I uninstalled, downloaded the recent minor version update, and still no luck ...what to do? ...corrupt settings database file somewhere that needs deletion?
I need to set Callback function for New Contact added to Device on Windows Mobile.
I want to get notification when someone adds contacts to mobile device. I am using VS 2008 with C#.
The Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.ContactCollection has a ListChanged event. But, that will be called only when Contact is added programatically. I want to get notification even if Contact is added directly in Outlook (from device) outside of my application. I have found one useful link (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms862902.aspx) but that is in unmanaged code. I don't know how to use it in C#. Can you help me to call it from C#? Kind of creating wrapper?
Hi!
Doing that in C# is not that easy...
You need a c++ lib for the POOM notification and with help of it you can register to the events (outside your software)
Either you search the internet for PoomNotificationHelper by Chris Tacke and try to manage it on your own, or you drop me a PM with your private email address and I can support you...
Have a look at that software, it's my caledar app and uses the libs...

do what I did, go to Followmyfeed.net and have them make you a quick free app and submit that to the market place. Mine is called Omega Ra, check it out so you can see what they make.
Also let me know if you have published an app when registered via dreamspark
