mobileaim So you say you’re still a Happy AOL Camper,  but you’re tired of sporting third party software company’s app’s to get your AIM on? Well Butter Me On Both Sides or is that AOL who just released an updated Windows Mobile Version of AIM Client?

Still in it’s Beta Stages, this version of AIM does not support File Transfer according to BGR, but looks overall pretty good in the way of eye candy goes.

Thanks to TiltSite Tipster geoff d

What is AIM for Windows Mobile?

AIM for Windows Mobile brings all of the best features of AIM on your PC to your Windows Mobile smartphone! AIM for Windows Mobile lets you communicate whenever you want, wherever you are, in whatever way suits you best – IM or text. Update your AIM status and information when you’re on the go. Change your conversation style, manage your Buddy List, and much more. AIM Windows Mobile Smartphone has many of the same key features and a familiar look-and-feel of the desktop AIM client.

Please note: This build of AIM Mobile does not have an Update Mechanism available. This means you will have to return to beta.aol.com and check if a new build of AIM for Windows Mobile is available. The Update Mechanism will be included in a future build.

Supported Devices: AIM for Windows Mobile supports devices with the Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 operating systems. Some examples are:

  • T-Mobile Wing
  • Sprint Mogul and HTC Touch
  • AT&T Blackjack II, Tilt
  • Sprint Samsung ACE
  • Motorola Q
  • Verizon Wireless 6800
  • Most Palm Treo’s

*U.S. only. AOL Mobile services may require a wireless data plan and charges from your wireless carrier may apply.

    Yeah but whats really retarded is the tilt has wifi and many internet programs designed for ppc's wont connect to wifi on atnt's tilt. other htc 8925 users wouldwide can use any program over wifi but not us....
    its pretty unfair.. the tilt is not cheap and the wifi feature is great so why not let us take advantage of aim over wifi if we feel we want too, obviously wifi is very limited to where you are, but what if your at home and want to just use wifi for messaging, pretty unfair..

    im going to try a webpage aim client..
  • Ted
    Wes,

    Check out IM+. Lots of Tilt users have said great things about it. I am heavily considering getting a Tilt but do not want to pay for a data plan, so I'm gathering all the info I can. ;p
  • Wes
    Just wanted to warn tilt users, this says it uses the data plan but every message i sent with it got charged as sms. I tried both oz and the new beta verison of aim. Both have charged me for over 100 messages. Love att's service but starting to see why people like verizon. Att must have some sort of block on messaging with aim and they charge for all messages as sms. I can't find anything that works.
  • The problem with this program is that it is too 'graphic' takes too much time to load, eats power like crazy.... im going back to slick
  • john B
    yeah it works over a wi-fi connction. but why not mms plan? my other IM client workswith mms. makes no sense!!
  • It uses the data plan, not SMS. They "recommend an unlimited data plan"
  • Jason
    Yeah, it's definitely great that they release a new AIM client (the old one sucked), but like TiltUser I am wondering whether or not it uses SMS or the data plan.

    There is no reason for ATT to use SMS other than to try to make money off SMS.

    Anyone know?
  • strikeone
    Does it work over wi-fi?
  • John
    I use my TyTn with tmobile and i dont have a data plan just the 5.99 tzones plan, i can use instant messanger with this plan but for some reason i can not connect to this program. does anyone know if i need to change something or will it just not work with the tzones plan?
  • TiltUser
    Yeah, but does it use SMS messages like the OZ messenger or use your (unlimited) data plan?
  • Geoff "crazy 8" D
    i know i was rather ecstatic when i found out the news so had to share... :)
  • I think I can vouch for many users of PPC and AIM... its about time! :)
