Fix the link in your posting. It takes you to: http://www.rimarkable.com/www.blackberry.com/instantmessaging

And they still haven’t enabled MSN messenger for some devices, my Rogers 8300 and Pearl 8100 still show as not compatible, I’ve tried it with 4.2 and 4.3 beta and still not available, I assume this is provisioning on RIM’s side or a request from the carrier to NOT enable it.

Bla1ze,
Usually this is a request from the carrier, though I don’t know why Rogers wouldn’t want to add this.

I have the same problem (with Swisscom in Switzerland) I can’t download Msn for my 8310 (idem with the 8800)…

are you sure the problem come with the carrier?

It appears AIM only works with Sprint, and not VZW’s, Pearl?

None of these work on cingular’s network either, although with a little googling one can find a workaround for yahoo! Messenger

Rogers’ issue may be that they have a strategic relationship with Yahoo.

I downloaded the Yahoo messenger for my RIM 8830 with Verizon. It installed and worked perfectly. It synched my users from YAHOO without any issue. Awesome and free. Thanks RIM!

Well I have an 8320 on Orange (UK) and I can’t get anywhere. If I try to d/l Windows Live Messenger I get a page saying it’ll only work in IE as it uses Active X Controls! F*****g useless!
