I was reading in the kaiser and diamond threads about Im clients an was wondering which one people would recommend but also I am overseas a lot and travel quite a bit with my job and was wondering if there is an IM client out there that utilizes the front facing camera for chats? I ask this because searching has gotten me no where.
thanks in advance for any help

well actually... there's one client that uses the front camera:
ever heard of Netmeeting? it existed way before msn and yahoo.. at that time we (only) had mirc and ICQ those were the days..
anyways microsoft made a netmeeting client por ppc which uses the camera.. never tried it, tho. and the software only works by connecting to an ILS server (much like netmeeting). if you've never heard of Netmeeting, just go to Star->Run-> Conf.exe
about the ppc client.. you can _try_ here: http://research.microsoft.com/~jiangli/portrait/

yups, I use Smaper (formerly known as mChat by mGSLab.com)
http://smape.com/smaperfiles/wm/smaper106w_pe.cab
It's not easy to find the file (or even the description) on smape.com; but with babelfish and some russian translating it's fine (the program is not russian, it's multilanguage)
still waiting for the devs to get filetransfer working again (used to work until june or so, mgslab.com server is routed to smape now) but everything else is fine (ICQ, AIM, jabber, MMP, MSN...)
EDIT:
www.mgslab.com is rerouted, http://pda.mgslab.com/files.html and http://pda.mgslab.com still working. smaper 1.06 is the newer one though, it's an improvement over mchat 2.3.0.x
just my five cents hth

Tks for the link. When I click on it; it diverted to http://research.microsoft.com/mcom/portrait/ AND Microsoft Portrait doesn't work on Kaiser http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387327
this is one of the things that rly angry me in the wmob world.
had that idea long ago when i bough my magician: we had gprs (33.6k baud was more then enough), we had a built-in camera, we have im applications, how cool was to webcam mobily?
and now after 3 years microsoft didnt even cared to pull a wrapper for the phone camera(s).
care to know why not? THE CARRIES! that way they couldnt pull out the astronomicall but lucrative rates on video-calling.
f*ck the exploited capitalism. america has to pay now
i use slick and it works pretty well also free
trying them out
i am trying all the ones that you guys said you like and i looked up aim and got AIM mobile but whenever i try to connect i get " Connectivity error 12029"
and i dont think my wifi is working correctly.. any pointers
qip.ru has a WM client that supports ICQ und Jabber. Im using it on ICQ and Google-Talk. Very stable an no other Problems, even if running for more than one day over GPRS.
ICQ
If you want ICQ-only client,Pigeon is the best on Raphael. I have tried any others,but they have problems playing sound notifications.
Pigeon fulfills all my requests on ICQ client perfectly:
- History in textfile and fast to read back
- Vibration and sound notifications working
- Easy and fast to use
- Nice design with cool smileys
Don't forget to prove whether you client stores some data on the client's provider server! Agile Mobile and Palringo both use a web gateway to connect to Jabber or ICQ. In both cases all your massages and passwords travel through foreign servers. This isn't really nice.
QIP 2040 works really fine on both ICQ und Jabber, and there aren't any problems with notification, vibration etc. And it directly connects to ICQ und Jabber-Server. So there is some privacy!

Are you sure,QIP2040 is playing sounds correctly while in standby? My not.
Sorry for all,I forgot to write,that sound notifications won't play in standby(instead of Pigeon).
Yes, but I've disabled this cause of this anoying Uhoooh It still vibrates.
IM with video
Yo guys, still a bit confused here. Is there or isn't there a mobile IM application that let's you make mobile videocalls to MSN or Skype users?
No. See post #3, 8 and 9.
Pigeon! problems with Vibration
I just installed Pigeon on my Vario IV and everything's working perfect- besides notification with vibration. The sounds work perfectly...
Does anyone no what the problem is?
Do I have to mark both vibration modes or just one?
When I just pick one nothing happens.
Thanks for helping...

I've always used IM+ (not free) but had a chance to try Beejive and I vote for Beejive plus it's free.
Hi guys
Have search the market and forum but didn´t find an answer so ask here for a solution...
Quest: how can i manage "MS Office Communicator 2007 R2" on my Samsung Captivate with Android v2.1?
My former business handy was an WM6.5 device and we use OCS at the office as telephony application to communicate each other...
Thanks in advance for your help

I was looking for it too, Sadly no result.
MS is against Android I would believe.
there's some free app called documents2go, and they can read or modify exels, word or ppt ^__^

We are talking about Communicator.Not the office suite.
IIRC, Office Communicator actually uses the standard* SIP protocol, so you may be able to use a SIP client such as Sipdroid.
*Keep in mind Microsoft's history on standards
EDIT: Wiki says it uses a modified SIP for presence and IM; so YMMV.
There is a company developing Communicator Mobile for Android (AndrOCS from WidgetMedia dot NET) - but there is no beta available yet (the say they will post it in a few days). I doubt it will work with CS14 - but at least will work with OCS2007R2.
AndrOCS works. thx
working on my Wildfire. Though I noticed that it disconnects frequently and sometimes the IMs are not displayed in the IM tab.
ok, might be a stupid question as MSN belongs to windows but i know that iphone users can install MSN, so gonna try my luck.. is there a possibility to install MSN on my sensation? i mean the real MSN we use on our desktops but just for mobile devices
thanks
There is no official Windows Live client for Android. You can try something like IM+ or a variety of other programs. But don't feel bad, not even Windows Phone had a client before the Mango update.

but if i install one of these clients, will i be able to see and communicate with my friends who are on windows live client?
sure, the best one imho is Epinephrine: fast, simple and easy to use. Latest version can also send files!

Agree with that, Epinephrine is quite good. IM+ is very nice as well, but files are uploaded to their server with this one... I hate that. I want my files sent directly. Epinephrine can do that, but only pictures and sounds I believe. Not TXT files, APKs, whatever. MSN Messenger: Mercury Free can send all types of files directly, but is otherwise inferior to the two alternatives I mentioned.
Ebuddy.
/Thread
I prefer Trillian, they have a desktop client and Android client. They both work really well together and it supports a lot more than just MSN.
Hi,
Now mango apps are available in marketplace but i don't see any application for SIP/Voip...Is there is any application available?.
Thx
Wait until December, u will c Skype.
+1 only this one thing is preventing me to use wp7
Skype is not a solution for me. I use private sip provider
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using XDA App
Skype will be nice, but I need a true SIP solution, like Agephone was for WM 6.5.
Anyone know if there is a SIP under development? Or if it is even possible with he currently available APIs?
I really wish people didn't pull dates out of their a**. There's no information Skype will be available at that time.

Good day, you know any application that serves to connect my windows phone with a SIP telephony server??. Hopefully for wifi connection.
windows 7 voip/sip client possibilities

Have you tried the Voxofon software in the Marketplace? I'm not sure if this will fill your need, but it may be worth trying out.
Unfortunately from what I've read it seems that the SIP clients from previous version of windows mobile no longer exist in the newer versions, at least not yet.
Try this: Mobile Voip app is purported to have sip client functionality.
Google search "MobileVoip" to get their homepage.
Best of luck!
( <-- please click Thanks button, ty! <3 )
There are a couple of promising apps that show up if you do a Marketplace search for SIP, but they appear to be primarily in Chinese and Russian.
The Russian one is not a SIP client, rather a call-back service. FYI.

If you want that, you can get almost any Google Voice app....They all do that.
