I just downloaded the IM Software from T-Mobile supporting the Blackberry 7290 from http://www.t-mobile.com/bbupgrade/

It supports AIM, Yahoo, MSN Messenger and ICQ. I use Messenger and it works fantastic.

i have it, and it seems slow, i can't even get my full buddylist

I am using it too, it's pretty good, eats up a lot of SMS though. It's good for people who got the unlimited SMS plan from T-Mobile.

T-Mobile just started offering the Unlimited SMS, IM, Picture messages for $14.99 per month. All you have to do is call them.

I use and recommend Ramble for AOL IM purposes, it uses TP so no SMS charges.

i also downloaded the new software, but i cant get it to work at all. it sits at 20% signon status and then just dies out, i have not gotten it to sign on yet. im using a 7290 if that means anything.

Has anyone been successful in getting this to work on Cingular? I only get to 20% logon too!

Clicked on the TMO ad on this page, looks like they have unlimited text and IM with their "minutes and mail" plans now...
nice twist.

It won't work. It uses a private t-mobile server.

It will work on the 7230 if you are a tmo subscriber

when you log on, it asks for permission to send SMS and then it says something about using something as a server, what is that all about?
how should i set it??? thanks in advance!

crashes my blackberry hard. Completely reboots when signing on. We should really work together to get this to work on all blackberries.

you have t-mobile ya? it's for t-mobile only.... works off their server!

I know IM+ work on Cingular

IM+ is not worth it unless u have unlimited test messaging
