Windows Live Calendar is now mobile!

David Dennis over on Windows Live Inside just announced that you can now access and manage your Windows Live Calendar from any web-enabled mobile phone.

You can browse upcoming events and see when you’re free so you can quickly add new events. You can also check your schedule by day, week, or month, get previews of event details, set reminders and add charms.

The calendars you already use will be there too. He even provides some handy calendars for you to subscribe to:

Try out this cool calendar subscription from our friends at Mixin.com, for instance. It lets you access your Facebook events right from within Windows Live Calendar by simply clicking on this link. (Note: The events may take a few hours to show in your calendar). And, if you’ve been bit by the soccer (football) bug, try subscribing to this World Cup calendar. You can keep track of the entire World Cup schedule, and it looks great on your phone, too!

    Wow, they plugged Mixin. :D
    Seems like my phone is too outdated. Hope for better luck with the ActiveSync

    I guess I have to go spend money and buy a new device since it appears my WinMo6.1 is so out of date that MS isn’t supporting their own mobile browser? wtg

    not as good as i thought it would be but i don’t think it could be much better on a mobile. they’ve taken their time though lol

  • efjay

    We WM users might as well go and buy iphones since that is what MS wants as they dont even support their own mobile OS and its native browser…:(

    Is this what we have been waiting 3 years on? I have to say this is garbage. First, why do we have to go to a separate link on our web browsers to view the calendar? Why is it not connected with the Windows Live Mobile web suite which consists of Profile, Hotmail, Messenger, Spaces, Contacts, and Photos? Second, I have Windows Mobile 6.5 phone and when I go to my web browser to type in the calendar link, I get a message that says; WINDOWS LIVE IS DESIGNED FOR YOU, BUT MAYBE NOT FOR YOUR BROWSER. What do you all mean? When i click on an upgrade browser button at the bottom for internet explorer, it takes me to a Get Windows 7 for my pc (WTF?) Third, the calendar does not look nothing like what you all showed us on the upcoming previews. I see my calendar like I am in my Hotmail account accept it is so small even a magnify glass would get a headache, and it has nothing to do with my settings. Fourth! Why has there not been a new Windows Live Mobile Application released that would consist of Windows Live Calendar that could sync just like Hotmail? Fifth, I am so glad that everyone is coming around to seeing that Microsoft shows more support to the iPhone instead of its own phones. That is a damn shame. Your own Windows Mobile Customers are left out in the cold. You don’t see Apple promoting their products on Windows Mobile Phones at all. There are not even any programs or applications designed for Windows Mobile phones by Apple. In all my years of being with Microsoft, I am highly disgusted with the way you all have treated us as Windows Live Mobile customers. Lame Applications, Applications that don’t work, improper synching when it comes to contacts, no upgrade on OS, and Microsoft exchange that barely works, and now an online calendar that doesn’t work on our phones and looks like garbage. I feel that the Windows Live Mobile team did a horrible job in putting this last minute garbage of a calendar together. I will not be purchasing another Windows Mobile phone when it comes time to upgrade. Microsoft has completely dropped the ball.

      Of course we’re happy to host your frustrations here at LiveSide, hopefully someone (or multiple someones) at Microsoft is/are listening. We will try and get some clarification from Microsoft on the state of mobile for 6.1 and 6.5 devices, and we agree with you, the current state of affairs is a bit of a shame :( Not sure that not supporting iPhone is the way to go, however, but in our opinion Microsoft needs to share in the developer pain and develop for all their Windows Mobile devices. Just looking the other way and supporting iPhone isn’t enough.

    well…but i wait for windows live for mobile with calendar sync and we still can’t download hotmail attachments from a mobile phone brwoser, ABSURD!!!

    on my mobile browser (HTC touch pro2 with winmo 6.1), not work!!!!

    I may be wrong, but Windows Live sites use auto browser detect to distinguish between a Desktop or Mobile xxx.live.com visitor. Maybe there is a m.calendar.live.com type link that will force the page into mobile mode. I just don’t know what it is. and it’s definitely not m.calendar.live.com or mobile.calendar.live.com

      It is very odd… on my WinMob Touch Pro 2 (upgraded to 6.5), I can visit the calendar.live.com site fine with Opera mini browser. The online calendar app look great!

      But when I visit with ie on the same phone with ie mobile, it throws up an error. I’m a huge supporter of MS, but this is straight BS. I understand they are trying to push their winmob 7, but this is getting borderline ridiculous.

      I’m not starting to wonder if those with xp might not have a legitimate gripe with MS not supporting xp. Seems with my phone, MS is purposefully not supporting their browser to push people to winmob 7… it is not the device since it works fine with opera mini.

      If someone from MS is reading this, I suggest when they come put of beta, they take a different stance with supporting browsers and xp.

      Greed is not a way to push a product. That is what this is starting to look like to me… no facts, just my opinion based on what I’ve observed so far.

    Today I downloaded Opera on my Windows Mobile Phone to see what the calendar looks like. After viewing the calendar on Oprea ( like Jtmat claimed) it looks nice. It doesn’t look anything like the calendar I saw on internet explorer mobile. Matter of fact, the whole entire Windows Live Web Suite looks better on Opera then Internet Explorer. It’s almost like they designed Windows Live Web suite to work on Opera and other web browser only. I guess for now on, I will use Opera for everything. Still sad that Microsoft uses other companies products to promote their business. You have your own mobile web browser but create programs that work for other web browsers only. I wonder what would Bill Gates have to say about this?

    No joy with Opera on Windows Mobile 6.5 on HTC HD2

    Any clues on which browser works works to access live calendar on my BB Bold 9700. The default browser does not seem to work.
