Does it include Yahoo! Messenger? Also, does it take all your Yahoo! friends and add them to your phone's contacts? What does it include?

As you can tell, I tried 2.0 a while ago -- and it took me 3 days after uninstallation to get my phone back to the original state. LOL....

Just to let you know Version 3 is still in BETA.

Ok... Just spent an hour toying with it and uninstalled after it crashed multiple times while pulling up emails, and then later, traffic. Too bad, cuz it looks like Yahoo! is making gains on a service that Microsoft has dominated for a while now (Live and Live Search). To answer my earlier questions for anyone who's interested, no, it doesn't pull in all your friends into your phone's contacts... and it has everything it shows on the Yahoo! Go website -- which of course does NOT include messenger or GPS-aided maps/turn-by-turn directions.

I do see some nice improvements from v2.0 in the user interface -- real nice animated carousel for selecting which widget you want to use. If you have multiple Yahoo! accounts, though, you will have to uninstall and reinstall anytime you want to change IDs. That sucked. Also, as I stated before, the maps and directions function cannot utilize GPS. Email doesn't show HTML/pictures. And again, there is NO messenger built in (HUGE bummer -- I'll keep using free Slick Messenger).

So, for those who must use Yahoo! for whatever reason, this will be a nice step in the right direction. Otherwise, folks like myself will most likely continue using Microsoft Live and Live Search (gotta luv that speech recognition!)

It appears that Yahoo! Go 3 beta no longer includes a contact sync feature. That was one feature that came in handy with v2. Bummer.:(
