Get MSN Direct on Windows Mobile

Posted By: Sarah Perez | Feb 21st @ 8:49 AM

You can now get easy access to info like weather, stocks, news, entertainment stories, and sports on your Windows Mobile device via the MSN Direct service. The service, which provides info from the MSN Mobile Portal, uses Wi-Fi and 3G connections,not FM radio like the MSN Direct-enabled nav devices do.

You can get MSN Direct if your mobile device is Windows Mobile 5.0 or higher. From your mobile phone, go to phone.msndirect.com in your phone's browser, or you can download the app from that same link and install via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device center.

Too bad this only works for certain phones:

AT&T BlackJack I, AT&T BlackJack II, AT&T Moto Q Global, AT&T 3125, Sprint Moto Q 9c, Sprint Moto Q, T -Mobile Shadow, T-Mobile Dash, T -Mobile SDA, Unicel Motorola Q, Verizon Wireless SMT5800, Verizon Wireless Moto Q 9m, Verizon Wireless Motorola Q, HTCS710, HTC S730

I get a lovely "Not intended for this device" message.

Why doesn't this work with all current WinMo phones?

And what took so long for the MSN Direct team to finally put this on WinMo? And how does this compare with the current MSN Mobile? At least I'm grateful it's for free.

Yeah this is crap, it says Windows Mobile 5.0 or higher, but doesn't work on my Sprint Touch. Great Job Sad
