Default Reinstall Pocket MSN on Treo 750v?

As you all know, the Treo 750v does not come with Pocket MSN, but it is sometime nice to be able to chat on MSN Messenger while on the road. Does anyone know how one goes about reinstalling Pocket MSN onto a device? I have other WM5 devices (Tytn), is it possible to extract the program into a cab to install?

It should be. It can most likely be extracted from the 750 Cingular rom update and cab'd up.

man, better use agile messenger for wm5 - last beta is free and it is so much better than the old msn messenger:

- use smileys
- send camera pictures directly
- keep history of chats (just like on pc)
- use not only msn but also icq, aol, yahoo, google im

here's the download: http://updates.am-im.net/AgileMessengerWMPPC.zip - it's the cab file in the zip, so copy it over to your device and run it there. hint: make the cab file write protected on your desktop (right click on the cab), then copy it over to your mobile's storage card and install it. it won't be deleted then and you can always reinstall it when you need it again.

cheers, lutz

it uses wife to connect, if wifi is available and enabled. sms is never used to send messages, if there is no wifi it uses gprs/3g connection.

i would not use the windows live client - it's a big monster...

Excellent, thats just what I'm looking for. Seems like I'd have to pay for it though, not a good sign. Is there anyway I can get this program for free?

Sorry, I wasn't clear on what I said.

I already have Pocket MSN on my MDA, but I'd like to use Agile messenger since it can be used over WIFI too. My question is, is there a way to get Agile for free? I know its a long shot.

One more thing, can Agile be used over GPRS?
