Mobile messaging is becoming popular every day. Microsoft just released Windows Live for your Windows Mobile phone. To get a copy of it point your mobile browser to http://wl.windowsmobile.com and follow the instructions on your screen.

If you have Windows Live already installed on your device, you will need to uninstall it first. To do that, go to Settings->Remove Programs, select Windows Live entry from the list (if any) and click Remove. If you don’t find Windows Live on the list, then you are good to go.

Some features are:

• Synchronize your Live email (msn, hotmail, live)
• View graphics, web links and contact photos in emails
• Respond to emails with voice recordings
• Upload photos to your Windows Live Spaces
