"Looks like - in addition to Microsoft's Live Messenger client - the company is also working on a Live Messenger client for Windows Mobile devices which goes far beyond the MSN Messenger client of today's Windows Mobile devices. At least that's what Zack Whittaker has posted on his site. With the "Live Messenger Mobile" client, you'll be able to talk to other Messenger buddies whether they're using a mobile device or a PC. To make the Live Messenger service working as seamless as possible, you'll be able to send and receive nudges, instant messages as well as emoticons (emoticons...? ). The speeds between the PC and the Live Mobile Client are pretty fast - with about a second or two waiting times only which seems to be even faster than today's MSN Messenger. And - keep your seatbelts fasten, you'll be able to transfer files from and to your mobile device, including recording a voice clip using your device microphone and send pictures with your device camera!"



I am very excited about this and I am glad MS hasn't abandoned Mobile Messenger. With the talk of Messenger not being included in mobile devices because of greedy carriers this is good to see. The picture here is a bit weak but you can get the idea. I have been using the desktop version of Live Messenger and am quite pleased with it. This update is long overdue. Better late than never.

Im registered for the Windows Live Mobile BETA. When I go to the BET Site, all I get is the same old PENDING. So when the BETA goes live I will let you all know. Should be soon, rather has to be as the Desktop version is in Public BETA, they gotta make it happen!

It's part of their Beta Connect thing. You have to sign into Connect and then ask to be a part of the beta. Then, the will contact you if you're accepted.

Thanks. I tried to go to the beta area, but i dont know what beta to signup to. There's nothing called live messenger mobile there. Only live mobile but i guess that's not the one? It doesn't say anything about mobile _messenger_.. Thanks for any help
