Just received word that AIM and ICQ was enabled by RIM on ALL carriers yesterday. The account tags were enabled for everyone. I tested this and my AIM client is successfully connected and working, no issues. You can delete the OZ client now.

So everyone that's been trying to get this working can now be at ease. It's finally enabled by RIM. Give it a try

hmm, I'm using the 2.0.46 AIM client and it connected immediately. Do you have the correct service books installed?

I'm working successfully on the AT&T network with client version 2.0.46. Make sure you have the right service books installed.

Working on Verizon - at least it was earlier. Seems both the RIM AIM and JiveTalk are having problems logging to AOL.

No love for me on AT&T either. How exactly do we make sure we have the right service books? Or, more to the point, how do we GET the right service books should we not currently have them?

[mshipek]

gimme a few and I'll post the service books and both AIM clients with the edited .alx files.

Not w/AT&T (yet) but isn't it available via AT&T's MediaApp?

2.0.46 AIM shows you as mobile when you log on, it does let you see your whole buddy list. I thought I saw 2.1 is out? Does that version show you as mobile also?

It is working on AT&T, see my pics above.

Here's the files needed for both versions.

I will let you know about version 2.1.32. I'm in the process of installing it and testing it right now. So far, I've only tested 2.0.46.

bummer, my IT policy blocks it.

2.1.32 does include your whole buddy list, but not buddy icons. There's no way to change the mobile connection status in the options. From RIM's support site avatars should be displayed on the conversation and conference screens. Maybe in the next update....

How do I put the service book on the phone?

[coldconfession13]

I have an 8310 unlocked on TMO. I was able to d/l and install it. Resent my service books and registered on network and it tells me not available.

[LexxxTavoz]

I have the 8320 on tmo. I have been waiting for an upgrade of aim.
Yesterday, I checked to see if there was an upgrade and there was.
I upgraded from 1.1.15 to 2.1.32 and now I get a message "service not emabled for this handheld" wtf? I did a hard reset, re-sent service books, removed app and re-installed and nothing.
It also does not give me a way to downgrade. Looks like I'm stuck. I would have not downloaded this app if it was not released on mobile.blackberry.com.
Are there any solutions?

[strike2tamu]

Really how do I get the service book to my phone?
