I never tried Verichat so I can't speak for that one.

You didn't miss much.

I'd be interested to hear if there's any update on this SW for AT&T, but Yak-
On is pretty nice (tabbed chatting, etc.). It will do some reconnection upon loss of connection, but it appears that there are many times where it could reconnect, yet does not.

I used verichat so I can tell you that Jivetalk is leaps and bounds better than verichat. I havent had one login issue on any of the current messengers. Works everytime and stays logged in.

So, yesterday, I stopped in at a corporate-owned xxx9642;Txxx9642; xxx9642; xxx9642;Mobilexxx9642; store to see if the BB 8320 "Curve" was out yet. It IS, and I can confirm that it DOES have the official RIM AIM client pre-installed on it, along with RIM's MSN client.

The big question now is this: How soon will T-Mo start letting the rest of us use the official client?

I probably COULD upgrade to the 8320, but IF I do, it won't be until the end of the year or early next year, because I started my contract with the 8700g in December '06. So, it's a little too soon for me to qualify for an upgrade right now.

Absolutely YES!, T-Mo actual confirmed that letting the rest of T-mobile BB members use the official client.







I don't need Jivetalk, or other IM client third party programs download on my bb anymore!

Did they indicate WHEN they'll let us use it?!?

Because as of last night, T-Mo still won't let me use it. I go to http://www.blackberry.com/aim from my BB's Browser, and I still get the message telling me that my carrier does not allow me to use the AIM client.

I'm on T-Mo, I *can* download it, but the resulting client isn't able to establish a connection

I downloaded AIM and had no problems with a connections.

As of 11:50AM Sunday (today), I still can't download these clients from blackberry.com using my 8300 running on T-Mobile. I get the error msg indicating that my provider doesn't allow this.

i have an 8320. msn and aim work. however i tried to go to blackberry.com/livemessenger and it still says service provider does not allow access...
did you try and load these devices via DM and then download and restore the service books that someone uploaded on another thread?

[cellyourpc]

Ok, confused here. I am on TMO as well with an 8100 and cannot download the AIM off the BB site, yet, some of you above are saying that you can and also have TMO. What's the story here?

Did they update default service books or something lately? I guess I will resend them and see if anything new is sent to me.

I have windowslive, AIM, ICQ service book

I do, too, they just don't seem to make the apps work. Then again, I am on AT&T ...

[vinmontRD]

The RIM website still complains that my carrier (TMo) won't allow me to download the software for my Curve (8300).
