Windows Live Messenger for new window smartphones allows you to chat in virtual real time with your instant messaging (IM) contacts when and where you want to – not just when you’re in front of your computer.

It has many of the same features you already use with Windows Live Messenger on your desktop, including1:

- Fast and reliable messaging
- Virtual real-time awareness of which of your contacts are online and ready to chat
- The ability to customize your own status messages (e.g. ‘Back in 5 mins’)
- Access to your existing Windows Live Messenger Contact List and the ability to add, delete and block contacts
- Emoticons to express yourself
- Auto-login so you’re always connected
- The ability to participate in several chats at once and to initiate and participate in multi-user chats

And with Windows Live Messenger on your BlackBerry smartphone, you can also:

- Communicate with other Windows Live Messenger users even while using other applications on your BlackBerry device
- New messages appearing directly in your BlackBerry smartphone Messages list
