theres 2 iphone threads

Too bad it doesn't seem to relay all msgs to you unless you start the chat on the phone first

blackberrys msn is waaaaay better than iphones lol

who uses msn on a blackberry? all about the BBM

i use both.

I guess it's finally feasible since OS4 can multitask and have it run continuously in the background?

Is it multi login compatible? As in it won't log out your other connected clients like on your computer?

^ Yup, i love it cause of that. Now I can keep my chatlogs all in one place even when I'm on the go.

^ do you mean it can multi login? because i try and it doesn't work for me. I though msn doesn't have that only skype does

I can sign in on both at once, it will not sign out the other computer/device.

I have a different font for my desktop, and my iPhone uses the normal font, ariel, i think. And I've been in group chats and normal chats and you can tell which msg came from which device.

Also has the option of signing out the other computer/device. Plus when you check your status on either it will say Signed in at 2 places.


Like someone said already, I do not like that it does not give notifications if you application is running. I run mine through Backgrounder cause I hate when you open up the app every time and it loads up and has to log in/sync or whatever.



I also noticed that say someone msgs you. A window will pop up on your desktop and a new chat will show up on your iPhone. If you answer through the iPhone it will show up on the desktop as well, including the other person's msgs.
But, if you answer through the desktop, your reply as well as all future replies will not show up on your iPhone, UNTIL you send a msg from your iPhone, then it will continue logging the whole chat on your desktop/iPhone.

The only thing I don't like about the app is I can't seem to find a way to organize my contacts by online status, as opposed to their 'category'

Anyone know how to do this?

Not sure what you mean by "category" but mine is organized all in 1 drop down menu called "Other Contacts"

Shows in alphabetical order the online(Green) contacts, then busy(Red), then away(Yellow), and lastly offline(white).


What I also like about the chat window is there is no button to delete the chat. You have to swipe or press the edit button to delete it. I always found myself deleting chats accidentally in other applications like BeeJiveIM, ebuddy, etc.

When on the desktop version of man you can organize your contacts by like "boys" or "girls" or whatever. And you have the option of arranging them by category or online status. I've always left it by online status on my computer so I forgot I had some categories until this app that only organizes them that way.

I guess I can just go on my computer and reorganize everyone to "other contacts"
