Windows Live Mobile updated…but watch out…
As you may or may not know, Windows Live Mobile (wl.windowsmobile.com) was updated, but this is very strange. They have removed Windows Live Messenger, one of the primary reasons I loaded the app to begin with.
(Windows Live Hotmail, Contacts and Spaces)
This software does not include Windows Live Messenger. Please inquire with your mobile operator about Messenger access.
So let me get this straight. Wireless carriers carry that much weight with Microsoft that they can pull Messenger from the mobile suite and tell us to go contact our carriers, which by the way the carriers will do but give you a pretty lame version that utilizes SMS text instead and charge you for the messages. Does Messenger really generate that much traffic on wireless networks that they had to pull it? Do carriers really need that much additional control over users? Why else would they do that? This makes no sense and I for one will not be upgrading to the new release. I’ll stay right where I am to have the full suite of Windows Live services on my phone.
