Put Windows Live on Your Windows Mobile Phone

[Rob Alexander]

I installed Windows Live (the beta, I guess since it was about a month or so ago) on my Touch just to see what it was and what it did. It made unexpected changes to the phone and then wouldn't let me remove the things it added. In my book that's a virus, not a program. Anyway, I installed a new firmware version on the phone, which wiped everything, so I finally got rid of it. No way will I ever install this again!

If you have any of the Windows Live Today plug-ins enabled, you can try disabling them. That has improved performance for some people in the past.

I bricked my Samsung i780. Worst still the hard reset didnt work, so luckily I was able to download the bits with instructions at XDA Dev and reflash my i780.

But because I thought it was another piece of software, I re-installed this, and bricked my i780 again.

Very angry the MS could allow this out of the stable. Wasted a lot of time re-installing software/reg codes etc..

Any I had no today plugins enabled.

I'm so f'n sick of microsoft bowing to these ******* carriers. You don't see Apple doing this. They told ATT the here and what for.

Microsoft, put Messenger back in the CAB, it is VASTLY superior over the junk the carriers push.


WM6 on a Treo 750 doesn't even HAVE a carrier IM application....so what am I supposed to do?

I thought I found the solution that I have been looking for since I like the new, less spam, better interfaced hotmail and HATE accessing it on the web on my phone! Coincidentally, I have had some issues with my 6800 but had to hard reset shortly after installing this too! Link on website now shows that they will not allow downloads until 06/02/08.

Right. The one reason to install Windows Live on my phone just disappeared. *sigh* MS is a bit too carrier friendly.
