Check out another cool application for Windows Mobile users. It is a PC (OTA) Sync program for lots of Multimedia as well as messaging, Contacts and others. Very Cool looking. Ofcourse its in Beta and you have to get in line. If you get it, let everyone know what you think.

Unfortunately my experience so far is a HUGE performance hit...
Not the greatest if you flash a new ROM to your phone or hard reset your phone. This will mess up the device id and they think it is a different phone, then you have to email them to reset your id. Other than that its a good service.
Looks like an interesting service but it causes a big performance hit and it hogs the radio. It blocked my blackberry connect service while it ran in the background. No go.
...it went all downhill. I got the text notification last night around 2am. Boy was I excited! I got up at around 9 and went instantly tapping on the url provided in the text msg... 30 seconds go by and my default browser, Opera 8.65 crank up to bring me to a shocker that I didn't at all expect: Below is the exact message that my eyes saw:
"Beta Request Completed
Thank you for verifying your beta registration. Your mobile phone is not currently supported by Skyfire. We will notify you when Skyfire is available for your mobile device."
wtf wtf WTF!!! My phone isn't compatible. What kinda crap is that. They are advertising all over their site with screenshots of the browser on a freakin' Kaiser itself. So, I don't get it that why is it recognizing my phone as NOT COMPATIBLE.
It felt like my Tilt was robbed of its dream date with Paris Hilton when she's coming right off a wet T-shirt contest and is on her way to Girls Gone Wild hottest chicks reunion shoot.... well, I got a little excited there so let me come back to reality! So, you get the point how I felt at that time.
Can someone tell me wtf am I doing wrong? I could only think of one thing that is that my Opera 8.65 is set to portray as a "handheld browser" and not a desktop one in its setting menu. Could that be the culprit.
To rub salt on my wounds, the freakin text message instantly went poof.. self-destructed upon tapping that link. I did went back to the browser and copied the url with my unique code at its end and ran it in PIE... same result.
HELP HELP HELP!!

It worked fine with my STOCK ROM ATT TILT.
Wow, that sucks...what PPC are you using? What ROM?

I never thought of that... what does a ROM have to do about it not recognizing my device??!!
NEways.. I'm using Dutty's Rom 6 Full version for my Tilt. Should I've upgraded to the 6.1s floating around first? I wanted to wait for the official one to come out first.
It might be using the ROMs device ID to determine compatibility...you might need a stock ROM. Has anyone used Skyfire on a cooked ROM?
Can someone upload this app, or can I download it somewhere?
It says "beta program is currently at full capacity"
I wonder if it isn't the Opera browser reporting your device as something other than what it is (maybe the "act like a desktop PC" option is on?). When you go to the web site your identity string which will include info about your browser, OS and sometimes device will be sent along too. Just a thought.
I am using Dutty V4, got the sms last night, went to the link in PIE, downloaded and installed like a champ. It is working pretty good, haven't had a chance to test it in 3G. But so far its pretty good.
waiting for cab any one has it?

This is not going to work for anybody but invited Beta testers. Since everything is server based with Skyfire it won't run unless you have an account set up with them. Only way you can get an account set up is if you received your invite code. It matches your phone number to it's servers, so if it doesn't reconize that you've been selected as one of the beta testers it simply won't work. There's really nothing anyone can do as it's all server based.
Anyways I would recommend to everyone not waste your time and install this, people from other sites are also saying the same thing as I am.
Its because your loading it in opera... try loading it in PIE. My banking site gives me the same error, but only on loading it in opera.

I've checked that already. Its set as a handheld device in Opera. I even went to the link via PIE and got the same message. Infact I even went there via Netfront 3.5 and no luck there as well....
What really sucks is that no one has posted this same problem besides me which is making my Tilt feel very lonely.. come one people.. stick ur neck outta yr shells..
..oh well!.. Its a big blessing though that Netfront 3.5 came out of nowhere and its basically been running literally FLAWLESS. I've been able to surf sites with such ease that its not even funny.
Damn haven't gotten mine yet.

It says registration failed...that sucks. I got excited there for a minute.
I signed up a couple of days ago. I put my device as HTC Kaiser not AT&T Tilt. I got a link to the download. When I click on it, it took me to www.skyfire.com/mobile/download/beta-at-capacity
netfront is with out a doubt better.

Does Netfront 3.5 support embedded flash like Skyfire? I know that 3.4 did not...
I signed up for the Skyfire beta on 1/28/08 and have not received any notification yet, so I e-mailed Skyfire and received the following response:
Thank you for your interest in Skyfire. On February 8th, we began to release the Skyfire beta 0.5. It’s a big milestone for us and one of many ahead as we march to 1.0. We are happy to report that the initial response to Skyfire beta 0.5 has been terrific.
The number of sign ups for the beta program continues to be off the charts – more than we can accommodate today. Rest assured, we will get to everyone signed up, but initially we have to pace ourselves and roll out the beta in a measured approach. We are inviting beta signs up to download on a first signed-up, first invited basis.
We will notify you by email and by SMS as soon as there is room for you in the beta program. Please be sure that when you signed up for the beta you entered the mobile phone number you want to download Skyfire on. We need that mobile phone number to notify when it’s your turn to download. If you used a different number, please sign up again with your mobile number so we can be sure to notify.
As reminder, first we are supporting Windows Mobile phones in the U.S. After Windows Mobile, we will support the Symbian platform in the U.S. – starting with Nokia N-Series and E-series phones. This could take a couple of months as we continue development and testing. We also hear all the Blackberry, Palm and Linux users who want Skyfire, but the wait will be longer. For our friends in Europe, Asia and around the world, we are working as hard as we can to roll out the service internationally.
To stay up to date about what’s happening here, you can read our blog. You can also refer to our FAQ. Please tell your friends about Skyfire.
Thanks,
The Skyfire Team

I'm looking for a lightwieght AIM client for WinMo. I have tried installing Agile Mobile but it wouldn't install. I would use the one that came in the ROM by default by ATT but it lowers your txt msgs with every IM you send. I'm looking for a free solution. When I had my iPhone I was able to use Mobile Meebo and/or iphone.beejive.com but none of these work on the kasier.
Which one do you all use? Much thanks.
Here you go, this one is my favorite. It was updated in 2000 but it's honestly the best AIM app I've found.
AIM Download
I use Slick.

i agree with the poster above me, use slick, it updates on occasion and is fairly simple to use.
Here i've attached the file. you need to update once you install it so don't be discouraged.
Seeing as you used Jive Talk in the past, you should try the WM6 alpha.

Hrmm..I just installed this app. And the overall look of it seems nicer than slick. Thanks ouphase.
I assume that both Slick and the new Beejive use my phone's data plan so I won't be charged a text message for every IM sent, correct?

what if i dont have a data plan?
be/c i got no data plan at all. i just use wifi.
Palringo works nicely and on multiple networks. I use it for AIM, MSN, and Yahoo.
i've been using palringo as well...i like that it integrates google chat at well, and the FINALLY updated it about a month ago where you can continue to have multiple chats open rather than closing a chat w/ 1 person, to open up a chat w/ another.
but i'm always looking for something newer and better...
i'm really diggin the layout and the chat history function of slick...but i tried to get jivetalk up and running, the cab that i'm downloading from their website isn't opening up on my phone properly...anybody having problems w/ the program as well?
I've had Palringo for a while now and just installed BeeJive. Palringo uses less memory, connect faster, plain and simple. Plus if you have MSN or HOTMAIL contacts on your yahoo buddy list they show up in Palringo unlike BeeJive. Beejive is more appealing with alot of neat and promising features butof course uses more memory. I like BeeJive more because it's got a feel to it plus it has alot of option to mees around with.
I'm sticking with both of them for now, and will run either one depending on my mood
anyone having problems installing jive talk too? i just did a hardreset on my phone and it still isn't working out. i'm sure it doesn't make a difference but i'm running qmobile 1.2 and its keeps pulling this error after i try to run it after a "successful" installation to the device. "

i have a couple mac fag buddies, they use iphone, and ichat for pc, any of these apps work w/ ichat? From what i hear you only need aim not sure if thats true (plus id love to NOT use aohell for anything)
iChat either uses .Mac or AIM to chat. Find out if they use AIM.

I get this same error on my 8125 running the latest (213) TNT ROM.
URL Links
Does either Slick or Plaringo convert http links in messages to clickable URLs?
palringo does, slick does as well...the real stinky thing about slick is you can't just copy text from conversations...which i do a lot. Sometimes i like to just copy convos etc, palringo is nice because whenever someone sends you a link, whether it be a picture of a youtube, or website or w/e...it'll say "open in browser" or "copy to clipboard". slick you can kind of do the same thing, but it takes a hell of a lot longer

I accidentally deleted that OZ instant messenger, where can I get it again?
I have been scouring for free IM alternatives but haven't found any good ones, so I want to just go back to the default one.

It depends if you want IM'ing thorough data plan or text messages. If Data than I use the WLM included with version 10.6.0034.0800. If through your text messaging plan that Oz is the way to go I guess. I would have a look at P1taters downloads, he may have a copy of both of those IIRC.
honestly it doesn't matter, I have unlimited everything. thanks
I've personally always enjoyed Palringo. Seems to be low overhead, and connects to a good variety of services (AIM, Y!, Google, MSN, ICQ etc....) I believe it is still free.
http://www.palringo.com/download.php
I use BeeJive IM for now, untill you have to pay for it. It's really easy to use and it has an iphone feel to it.
look right above your thread and youll see a new thread about AIM for windows mobile new software is out now....you will want to use this software for im'ing way more the OZ...OZ is a trash software and it doesnt let you even sign on unless you connect to ATT data connection. You cant use it through your wifi because ATT "forces" you to connect to their data internet and charge you to be able to use OZ....its trash software and theres no point in even looking for the install cab in your device, get the new AIM for windows mobile that just came out, trust me...or even palringo or any other im client service other then OZ
palringo
I have to agree the Oz software is crap .. Palringo is decent.. just doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the oz but it runs pretty smooth
The new JiveTalk is very impressive (though in beta still) and it is free
Device>Windows>C_OZPocketPC.cab will reinstall OZ Instant Messenger

How does it depend on something. The guy said he wanted the OZ one and didn't like the others. I don't see there being anything dependend.. At least tell the guys to search or something, don't just say, "well I don't like that software" lol.
oh nice, looks like at least one person addressed his issue. I will give some backup support incase that doesn't work. Check this thread, and remember. USE SEARCH, this took me 1 minute to find.

Yea, if you have unlimited everything, go for Beejive's JiveTalk for WM or try out the new AIM for WM.
But definitely, JiveTalk.

Oh really, I thought I answered his question pretty well. Some people still don't understand that some of the IM apps out there are either Data or SMS. Let's think if the guy didn't have a GD data plan and he used a program that depended on data to send messages, bam huge bill and then he'd come back here *****ing to me about it. And I don't recall saying that I don't like OZ. You might want to read and comprehend the whole post before you start to flame someone next time genius.
i believe that the im program on the sidekicks are the best ever put into a phone way better than jabber, im+, slick and all others.
i've been wondering if there is any way to get the sidekicks 3 or lx's im program on the G1
i know that its possible to get a developer's kit for the sidekick which allows you much access to the sidekick. but i don't know if someone would be able to get the aim application from the sidekick, send it to a developer and have him/her port it to android. i don't know if what i am saying is far fetched or not. If it isn't i would be willing to help in anyway, i can get a sidekick but I'm not a developer but if someone could give me instruction i could be able to dump the im program from it.

It's not so much the AIM program on the SK family that makes the experience great. It's Danger's backend servers. They keep the trickle of data going so that your AIM never loses connection and such things.

I'm not just talking about not losing connection... I'm talking about how easy it to use for example unlike the g1's default I'm when starting a cnversation you buddy is temporarily moved to another category. It also take much longer to load buddies (even though the sk isn't quite fast either) there also a bunch of little things that make it nice.. like how it save recent screennames that use ur aim, how you are able to see a buddy's FULL away messag (im+ only let's u see part of it.) Also the ease in which you can swith from conversation to coversation. And there are plenty other things that make the experience great.
Just download meebo. its in the market now. free aim app that uses internet to send messages and not your text.
use meebo!
thats what i am using but meebo:
1) doesn't allow you to change your status (ex away, busy, unavailable) also
2) it does not allow you to save login info(not as important as number 1)
3) can not add buddies
sidekick lx im works great when the G is there, but i had horrible service with the sidekick alot of miss calls where my phone never wrong or i was just missing the G all together, sidekick is too limited

aim
I believe you guys are missing his whole point,a lot of ppl that had the sidekick upgraded to the g1 and they really liked the sidekicks aim and maybe thought that the g1 aim was gonna be equal or even better on the g1 there's a lot of things that just don't add up with the aim.a lot of ppl loved going into the aim chat rooms when they had there sidekick and now we have the g1 and can't do any of those things so that's basically what he's saying meebo is cool but it doesn't add up to the sidekicks aim.
its coming soon im beta testing an im client that is a lot like the one on my sidekick it still has some bugs but much better then others on the G1

What would the name of this program be?
its palringo
Only issue I have with Meebo is it disconnects randomly.
i agree, the sidekick aim is way better than any aim for the g1 right now. meebo's most annoying thing is even when you are signed off, it still keeps its icon on the status bar, and i have to restart the phone to get it to go away. all the other aim apps (including the one that came with the phone) only send 1/3 of my messages. wtf?
