Just like Messenger on a full size PC!  One Star One Star One Star One Star One Star
umbug@btinternet.com from Exeter, United Kingdom, October 22, 2001

Very impressed; especially as it offers nearly all that the full home PC version offers and looks the same. Only criticism is that I couldn't get the scribble feature to work (recipient got a strange text msg instead) and there's no in-built help menu to refer to. A good buy though and I've no reservations in recommending it.

 

Does everything it says it does!  One Star One Star One Star One Star One Star
sumeghv@hotmail.com from Dubai, U.A.E, May 31, 2001

If you are used to MSN Messenger on your Desktop to keep in touch with distant buddies, like i am, this pocketpc version will prove invaluable. Just one wish.. If they add a voice chat feature... that would be icing on the cake.
