JL, I have updated your original post, slightly

Ryan in MSN you can change your display name and it does it instantly.

Paul its funny but if you hide the MSN icon and show the bbmessenger icon then the N key opens bbmessenger but if you show the MSN icon N doesn't work messenger only for MSN.

When I get home I'll post more pics of the MSN interface.

The AIM interface is exactly like the OZ version except that on others computer you don't show up with a mobile phone icon next to your name. Also the messages are instant.

The only thing I did differant was that I went to the exact link rather then blackberry.com/aim. Also I'm running 4.2.1.73 on my unlocked 8800 but that shouldn't make a differance.

I have AIM working on T-Mobile with unlocked 8800. I'm honestly not too impressed with it. It puts the icon in the Instant Messaging folder making it a pain to get to. Then when you receive a message, if you're not in the app, you have to go back into that folder to open it up. It does not list the message in your messages folder, and give you a pop-up asking if you want to view the message.

I honestly think JiveTalk is better so far.

Yeah, AIM really is limited to 30 buddies, what the hell!?!?! Hasn't RIM learned anything? Backing up service books now and will post zip file.

Well in terms of he messages remember hitting the I key is the shortcut to open AIM. Its really quick and reliable but the buddy limit and the fact that you can't you can't view away messages is dissappointing.

For now it will be my secondary option behind Gtalk.

The MSN client is very nice though. But it just seems like MSN is the final product while AIM is in a beta mode or soemthing. And remember jibi did say MSN would be released first so who know maybe an update will fix these issues.

Once that is done, we should be up and running.

Thanks BG!!!

holy smokes excellent. so for those that havent figured out how to get it up and running. Go to DM and go to restore and backup-restore and select the file included in the zip file. it will ask you to replace your service books with these click ok and when its done resend service books from your carrier and from the bb go to options-advanced optoions- Host routing table- and then menu there and register now and then the moment u open AIM its loogs you in.
