RIM maybe a tad late when it comes to bringing the Windows Live Messenger onto their BlackBerry handsets, but it still maybe worth the wait after all, and for some it will be a welcome addition to the BlackBerry’s already useful functionality. Utilizing push technology for receiving e-mails and messages, the Windows Live Messenger features custom status messages, log chats, ability to display pictures, use more than 60 emoticons, and can send and receive pictures and files.
With the simple Windows Live Messenger application now available for the BlackBerry, we could only hope that Microsoft and RIM would also release the Windows Live Hotmail sometime soon. The Windows Live Messenger can be downloaded into your BlackBerry devices by pointing your device’s web browser to http://www.blackberry.com/livemessenger/.
