However, I think carriers do still make [smart] phone users' life harder. For example: - Verizon blocked some of the treo 700w bluetooth functionalities: http://nwc.mobilepipeline.com/175803792 - Aparently (from Alan assumption) Cingular prevents me to download certain file types. But I agree, if you have a smart phone, you may have most of what you need or want. (I am still looking for a Mobile Phone with WiFi and Skype though) @Ashish, @Fortino,

Am i missing something here? My phone already has AIM, MSN messenger and so on already loaded into it. Bluepulse seems like it's aimed towards phones without any Smart features. Correct? I agree with Ashish.

The problem you're having is most likely related to Cingular blocking you downloading that file type on your phone (hard to say for certain, as I think you may be our first Cingular customer!) Try this: tonight we're going live with a new version of www.bluepulse.com. Once it's live, get on your PC/Mac, download the .jar file from www.bluepulse.com/w and then select 'other' in the list of phones. Then you'll need to get that .jar file onto your handset. If you're lucky enough to have Bluetooth, do it that way, or connect up via cable. and save it in whatever directory the phone uses for its applications (games, etc.) Send us an email at support@bluepulse.com if you still strike any problems. Cheers, - Alan VP, Answering Questions Hi Jeremy,

Looking forward to have Bluepulse and OADP on my Treo. Unfortunately, I just tried with my treo 600 (Cingular). I followed the wizard, it did recognized my treo 600. However, when selecting "Start download and install" I get "Download Error: The file type you are attempting to download is not supported on your device". I hope it is just me.
