Windows Live for mobile Wave 3 – take your social life on the go

Having a calendar that can not sync with my phone is pretty much useless. I love live services, but if they can't deliver such a basic feature, I think I will have to move to something else (probably google, once they get their contact tool working right)

@JSYoung - There is actually a version of Windows Live for Mobile that includes Messenger. For some reason (I think blame the power of the Mobile Operators) MS don't make this version public.

But go here to find the version with Messenger forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php to download the CAB and install on your WinMob.

Aside from Calendar, I hope they improve the reliability of the WL for WinMob. To actually do anything with it takes at least three taps of the "Synchronise" button.

And they can’t at least add Active Sync through Live Mail’s calendar in the mean time.

Agree with FOAF! Windows Live has really never mastered putting the calendar together period. This has been since last November when they came out with the Windows Live Calendar period. It took a whole year for it to finally work, and that is not even full potential working. The outlook connector beta that was introduced during the last wave sucks. I can sync my Windows Live Calendar with Outlook, but it throws all my scheduled appointments off and changes my United States time to a foreign country's time. I just can't use it period. That is why so many people have run over to Google. I am not surprise about the mobile part since they have a hard time with putting it together for our email accounts. I downloaded the Windows Mobile software for my phone and sort of disappointed with that. It dosen't even include messenger.

I agree as well FOAF! It's a disgrace that the calendars in Outlook, Windows Live Mail, and Hotmail don't sync seemlessly. TONS of people want this, and they STILL have not delivered.

No Calendar for Client or Web! Absolute shocker!

How difficult is it to sync a calendar made by the same company? Probably quite difficult, but that's no excuse.

Check out the new WAVE 3 ICONS!!

windowslive.com/ComingSoon

I like!!! Can't wait to see the rest of them! :)

I hope they had the golden swirl to the new Profiles and Groups icons, because they are not really consistent with the other new icons.

If anybody has contact details for the team, I'd be intrigued to resolve a problem I have with Windows Live Mobile Home...

I'm using the beta version at http://mhome.live.com and, rather oddly, I can't click through to my own profile...

My address is:

cid-6ba5a09ff313398.mobile.spaces.live.com

which comes up saying: Sorry, you can't view this space. Either this space is private, or it does not exist.

Bizarrely, I can get to my space if I type the direct URL (alimaggs.mobile.spaces.live.com).

I tried creating a second account and made myself friends with myself to test the process, but my second account couldn't access my space either. I've checked my spaces permissions, just in case, but it's all set to "everyone can view"...

Anyway, I'd like to resolve the issue, but I don't have any contact details and, as far as I can tell, I can't find a blog. I'm wondering if it's because I'm using a non-hotmail address?? But I'm just guessing.

Anyhow, my email address is ali@alimaggs.com if somebody could put me in touch.
