The Windows Mobile Team Blog drops the news, the Windows Live client (not to be confused with Live Search)...

Wohoo, finally!

Uhm, but what is the difference between the (pro) and (standard) download?

Does pro sync the calender, too?

Pro is for pocket PC device

Standard is for smart phone device

No, there is no calender sync.

Still not working...I got a couple emails, then the same dreaded "There was a problem during synchronization. Please resynchronize." I was really looking forward to this release.. :(

Is there a changelog or something available for this release? Any compelling reasons to update? I have no problem running the update, i'd just like to know what's there.

No calender sync? Thats a pity, how could one live without syncing our calenders!

Is it planned? if yes, any information about the time frame?

unfortunately it din't still support windows live messenger.

For many, for example in italy, there is no possibilities to install windows live messenger, because operator has not it to offer to customer.

My cellphone LG KS20 has not it :(

When microsoft decide to insert messenger into windows live?

Works great for me. Loving it. Thanks.

To where do we offically submit requests for new features? I would like the ability to "subscribe to contact updates" from WL Mobile.

cheers

I'd be careful with this. I installed it and it was working fine but then i needed to soft reset my phone and it hung on the windows mobile screen.........and hung.........and hung..........

had to hard reset to bring my phone back to life.

Uhg, you guys (and by that I mean Microsoft) keep making the same mistake over and over and over again, localization! Live could make it big if you would just expand it to other countries.

Heck, everything in it works in Canada, you just don't give Canadians the option! If you try to use the Directions, you can only pick from cities in the US, but if you manually select an area on the map, it has absolutely no problems routing. It also has no problems finding local results in Canada either, but again, you have to manually select the area because you can only choose from US cities.

There's even traffic results in major Canadian cities as well, but it's the same problem as above.

In fact, the only feature that doesn't work outside of the US is Gas Prices.

So what's holding you guys back from making this available to, not only Canada, but other major countries?

I have a Samsung i200, it has Live Messenger installed. Where can I get the updated version with Messenger? If I understand this correct, installing the one you provide here we disable functionality on my phone, right? I got my phone from Amazon, not from my carrier, just to get around this sort of thing...

Have just installed on my HTC S710 and works really well.

But what I would really like is

- Windows Messenger (I have to use 3rd party app at the moment)

- Calendar sync

BTW - you should really promote this more; especially the Contacts sync - it is so cool having just one contact list for phone and pc!

Great work!

I use windows mobile 6.0 on a Samsung Blackjack 2 and the contact sync feature does not work. When setting up windows live mobile with a live account, it gives me the options to sync contacts, but when I log onto my live account on a computer (after syncing the phone via windows live mobile), there are no contacts from the phone listed.

Also, once I initially setup a live id with windows live mobile, I cannot disable or enable the contact sync feature through the settings. The check boxes are grayed out. (I'm not the only one with this problem, see the windows experience blog). The only way to adjust them is to use the switch live id option.

About Contacts sync

cnovoselsky — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 00:38:53 GMT

Push email is not a new feature, but I see that creating contacts on the device adds them to live contacts as well.

BUT! editing/deleting/creating contacts on the net does not seem to propagate to the mobile device. Is this the way you intended?

BTW, the feature list and documentation for WL4WM is really lacking. I guess you are not that official yet.

Otherwise, thanks a lot for the great and useful program!

PS. changing view of MS one step at a time ;)
