Yesterday I posted about Windows Live prompting users to accept a trial period that possibly meant that it was no longer going to be offered free. Well Today, Chris Leckness at MobilitySite has found this response by Microsoft:

This week we rolled out a direct-to-consumer billing service for the Windows Live client on select Nokia S60 handsets in Sweden and the UK. Although we are considering doing the same at a future time for Windows Mobile, this has not been implemented. Windows Mobile customers shouldn’t have seen any notifications of a 30-day trial and we are working to correct this. Traditionally, customers have been billed by their mobile operators for many of these services, either directly or through their data package.

I never did encounter the prompt when I logged into Windows Live, so let’s hope they keep it on the Nokia Handsets only! Windows Mobile have to pay for too much third party software as it is to make our devices more functional and user friendly!
