I've searched this and many results did come up, but they were pretty old posts. As of today is there any official WM7 MSN/Live Messenger yet? Or can anyone recommend me a decent one? Please don't recommend me IM+ or Miyowa as they are both pretty bad for my taste or they don't work as intended (either laggy or a bad layout, or not easy to use)
Many thanks!

There is no official app because it is built directly into the OS with the Mango update.
You obviously didn't search hard enough.

Is that an official update that can be downloaded through Zune? I have the latest updates on my HTC 7 Pro through Zune when it asked to update my phone about 5 times.

Obviously not, But I thought rather bump old posts I make a new one that's more up to date with whether MSN exists for WM7 yet as of this day. To be quite frank I think this is a better idea, in my opinion.
Official update releasing this fall, only out to developers right now

Nice thanks for that useful reply Pressed thanks on your post.
Did you really think that Microsoft will not spam and force its live messenger on is? I won't be surprised if they reserve one whole live tile in front for its hotmail and messenger on front screen which you can't remove .. Just like its useless bing search button which is nothing more than a shortcut to bing search webpage after the upcoming mango update. A whole one big ass dedicated key just a short cut to a webpage.

That's wrong, but your ignorant opinion is valued, it also isn't forced on you, & no, there isn't a big permanent tile

You do realize that live messenger is the largest chat service in the world right? Also its paired with facebook chat which is the third. So no, Microsoft isnt forcing anything on you, they're just using whats already the most popular.

I dont know about Live messanger as I dont have MANGO yet, but Microsoft is definitely forcing www.Bing.com on me.

No, they are not. Open IE, go to www.google.com, search for what you want with google. There's even registry hacks to change the default IE search to Google. BTW, WP7 is a MS product so it will have MS products integrated just like Android has Googles stuff & iPhone has Apple's stuff. End of story, just like I told FiyaFleye in your thread to be civil, so should you. This thread has nothing to do with search anyway so you are off topic & violating XDA ToS. Stay on topic & be civil.

I would love to see someone with the new T-Mobile Garminfone pull out the apk and see if we can use it in our Incredibles. I would just love to see how it would work on a real powerhouse of a phone ;-)

Thanks for sharing =)
So anything you rip off another phone is illegal, how come we do it with alot of stuff on here... then again what do i care /ripriprip
The problem with this is that it's the map data mostly. When I was on Windows Mobile, we had the same problem with Microsoft Voice Command. Even though it came with most WM phones, you weren't aloud to share the .cab (equivalent to .apk) file for it. In fact, cooking roms with it was kinda frowned upon. The problem was the licensing, because Microsoft actually charged for the app, for the few phones that came without it (the manufacturer had the option to use it, I'm guessing they decided to just pay for it to have it come loaded). Even when TomTom came out with a "trial" for one specific WM phone, the cracked program wasn't allowed on XDA, even though cracking it just made it possible to use it on other phones...... You still had to buy the maps from TomTom for the phone..... It's all just a CYOA policy, and it's what makes sure XDA won't be shut down!
So I guess the question is: if I am able to find the.apk, would it work on my inc. Has there been any success stories?
It would certainly be interesting to find out. I remember someone in the past had made a GPS Phone based off Windows Mobile. I can't remember who offhand, but I'd think it would be more profitable for them to release the software for a reasonable price than to offer it only on their phone, which who knows how much they're really making off it. I mean it comes down to profit, but I'd think that considering my DInc came with built in Nav for free, and is a much better phone, why pay a premium for a phone with GPS, when you can get a better *phone* and add GPS software for a minimal cost (or use the FREE one included!). Just my thoughts though.....
Yesterday I tried to use Bing to get some local info, and I got thise trash.
The client update link is visible, but if you pres it you get the same "update?" BS.
So... Microsoft, if this is your attempt to funnel people toward WP7 BEFORE it's as usable, or *customizable* the current versions of WM devices, then by all means go f**k yourselves.
I'll be a Droid user if this is the game they want to play.
With that being said, if anybody has a useful work-around that DOES NOT involve the incredibly ****ty m.bing.com site then by all means, I would appreciate it.
PS:
If this is the wrong forum, i apologize. but i'm looking for help on this one if possible.
try all options
Well I never liked bing and use the google maps preloaded with my device. What features are you looking for that google maps doesnt have, then people could help you out better. Most people dont use bing except for movie listing part.
i use bing

It seems by your theme that you're still using WM6.1. You may want to update to a 6.5 ROM.
I'm just preparing to swith into Android. I'm pised off with that WM crap... ;/
Moved as not Software release.
I had been using it mainly for local searching, movie times, and gas prices.
And yes I am still rocking an old WM6 ROM on a Kaiser.
But still, why just stop supporting it all together? That's pretty disloyal to the same people who have been loyal to them.

BING app stopped from working
Hello Sean D,
I have encountered the same problem with the Bing app running on my at&t TILT. Have you gotten any more feedback, how to correct this problem? Like I mentioned, I'm running a TILT w/WM v6.1 and I'm really not in any mood to go thru the 'possible' upgrade to v6.5. I'm not a graet fan of bing, but the mobile app was perfect for getting info when quickly needed. I will not run the browser version.
Regards,
Rick H.

I thought they said they have not got it approved yet from Apple. That is why they probably started iPhone first, the approval process could take months.

LoL, this is why Microsoft wants to review apps that are sent in for their marketplace. Have you published this one on the Android Market? I'm very curious if Google will react on this.

I ask, mostly because of texts. I am one who never deletes my old texts, so I have quite a many thousands that I want to migrate from WM6.5 to WP7. Please don't flame me. I know MS hasn't released the API stuff and Mango, but I have to ask here just in case someone has figured out a way? I tried google'ing exactly how I have it worded in the title, with no hits.
