You can use it with any email client that has POP3.

My clunky old phone still runs. Why would I waste money on a new phone when the old phone still works?

Why should people using older phones be denied upgrades to popular services?

Wake up people, Skype client has existed for a very long time on Windows Mobile and other platforms. There is no news value in that it is now available also on iPhone.

Yes, thank you. Whatever your opinion of MS, you would have to be blind not to see the size of the audience Live Services actually serves.

Surprisingly, those Microsoft haters try not to use Microsoft products at all cost, yet they are the first ones to criticize its products. I don’t get it, if you stop using hotmail 10 years ago, how can you come out now and say it sucks. At least give it a try and tell us what you don’t like about it before you make comparison. Maybe I am just asking for too much. Am I?

@DJ Chang

what the hell are talking about? i’m having a hard time following your statements made to look like questions.

a lot of people dont go out buying new phones every year (as a certain fruity company wants all its users to do) so they stick with what they have, as for me i have an x7501 and i havent seen anything to rival this in the states so i hold on to my presious for years now.

and an answer to your so called question: better mail on old phones = a smile on the user’s face and this improves usage stats.

so if you dont use it then you just dont and you have no right to coment on it, because your coment will be half assed, bias and fanboyish.

i use windows live mobile all the time. swipe left or right to different email accounts and to sms/mms. it would of been really cool if they had added the dynamic background as it is on the computer.

i’ve never used gtalk before so i cant coment on that (i dont trust google: i installed google maps for mobile but wen looking through the agreement i see something along the lines of ”we might take your phone number on record” what? i’m using a map i’m not making calls with your service, why do you need my phone number again? no way, i uninstalled).

i like their new efforts, hopfully they continue adding more and more features while keeping usability in mind.

So if IBM decided to do online software, you’d bash them as well? They had the same practices years ago as Microsoft. What about Siebel, Oracle, and most of the other powerhouses of the 90’s?

A lot has changed in the last 10 years. Microsoft did not see Google coming. Siebel did not see Salesforce.com coming. Oracle did not see SQL Server or mySQL coming. All of these companies have changed both their approach to software and business practices due to the last 10 years.

To say that Live is a failure is overstating things. Hotmail and messenger alone are used by more people combined than any other service and many of the companies that are competing with them only think of one thing – how to beat Microsoft. Still after all of these years.

I would not count Microsoft out just yet…

I don’t think the blog post is “Microsoft bashing”. Is it?

Too little, too late.

- Better mail on klunky old phones – does that increase usage?

- Same question for Live Spaces.

- Yeh, I can IM over Windows Mobile! Is that the IM/SMS crowd of twitter/iphone adopters?

Seems like the committee output of group think – more focused on political agendas than consumer reality.

Windows Live for Mobile, is probably the best thing on Windows Mobile OS. And before you start bashing that statement, it’s the same as MobileMe but has been around longer and is free.

It’s a shame the blog post/discussion is around Microsoft bashing instead of evaluating the products actual benefits over the previous version.

Live Messenger withing this client has actually been available for years over at XDA. But fanbois wouldn’t know what that is.

I don’t think Robin is insinuating that Windows Live is a failure, he’s insinuating that most TechCrunch readers would have that opinion. He’s probably not far wrong!
