Comments on: Cingular pumps up wireless IM, e-mail

Company wants to make accessing e-mail, popular instant-messaging programs on a cell phone as easy as it is on a BlackBerry.

great, but ...

I would be far, far happier if it worked with any POP or IMAP mail service (a la BB web client). Still a great start.

whatever!

wheres my 3G compact flash transceiver?

hmm...

are they going to be adding advertisements like they do to the Multimedia messages? Also when are they going to come out with unlimited Text like other carriers?

cool, but..

This is a great idea, and it would be cool to use IM on a phone. But I don't thing this will become too popular because most mobile phones dont have a button for every letter and it would make instant messeging harder, and slow. Plus the costs of using internet from your phone. I think using text messeging to communicate is hard/slow enough already. When I sign in on my computer, there are at least 3 people that a conversation with me. I can't even imagine having to respond to all the incoming conversations with the people on your list when using a mobile phone.

Still a work in progress

I've tried the Mobile IM on my Sony Ericsson z500a and I received about 500 corrupted emails, just while trying to set it up.
