More Windows Live Mobile Wave 3 Updates for Hotmail, Messenger and Home

Last time we told you about the new Windows Live Hotmail Mobile beta. Yesterday the team on Windows Live Wire announced that the new Windows Live Hotmail for mobile is now final! Together with the announcement, the team also mentioned the new updates for Windows Live Home Mobile and Messenger Mobile – finally including the new Wave 3 Mobile look for Messenger Mobile! Here’s what they announced:

  • Windows Live Messenger for mobile has a new look and feel and now links directly to Windows Live Home, so you can easily navigate between services.

    contactsList

  • Windows Live Home for mobile has an improved What’s new list, with ten items appearing in the list instead of five. You can also see the things your friends are doing online at places such as Twitter, WordPress, Flickr, and more. And you can always read the full text of your friends’ personal messages.
  • I just went to the Windows Live Messenger for Mobile website on http://mim.live.com and although I’m seeing the new pips (instead of the old buddy icons to display your contact’s status), the overall theme hasn’t yet been updated to the new look. Update (April 23): The update has been fully released! What I really hope they’ve implemented is the support for multiple places sign-in, as currently it’s quite annoying that Messenger will sign you out as you’re logged in to the mobile web version. We’ll just have to wait and see.

      I agree with Emiliano84. At first i was excited about it and gave Windows Live mobile thumbs up until I discovered all of the above. I am scratching my head….just realizing that the only thing they really did was a facelift. Don’t forget we still HAVE NO CALENDAR SYNC between Windows Live Calendar and Windows Live Mobile which I don’t understand what the hold up is. Meanwhile we are still waiting on Windows Live Web Messenger for Hotmail.

      yes the calendar sync is the worst…i didn’t write because the problem is more important for of windows live mobile app!!! I’m very disappoint from microsft there are lot of applications and services free for windows mobile and other mobile os, when microsft will decide to close the circle :@
      there are lot of wrong things and decison from microsoft about live i hope for january with 7 and mobile wave 4 will have everything
