And I cant figure out where to do it from. I have gone to their website but there isnt a link or anything that says how to dl it. They tout their service and then they dont give you the option to dl it.

I think you have to get it pushed to your phone from T-Mobile. Do you have the T-Mobile BB data plan?

Send this URL to your phone to do a direct install:

Excellent. Thanks a lot. I dont use IM that often and definitely didnt want to pay $50 for IM+

Does it work with ATT curves? I have t-mo on an 8310 and its not working.

You would know I tried it 5 or 6 times with no luck and right after I ask and try again, it works. Thanks again for pointing me to the right place.

just tried it, works for me
