Hello everybody,
First of all I'll introduce myself here. This is my first post so far, and also, 1 month ago I just bought my first PDA gadget (TH55/E2, good to start with I guess :D ) but I've got quite a deep experience with computers for almost a couple of decades.
Secondly, I'd like to thank you all here because this site is truly helpful - I ignored almost everything about PalmOS and this place helped me to get up to date. It's indeed the reason why I bought a Palm device instead a PPC... Sony should pay royalties to Cliésource for sure...
And third, I'd like to contribute briefly explaining how did I get to chat on the MSN-Messenger network... without using Messenger. I'm pretty sure there should be any other post around explaining this but I hope this post helps users here to track this issue down faster.
So well, to be able to chat on the msn network, using the list of buddies we all already got in the list, without using any MSN-messenger client, we need a Jabber client. Jabber network provides gateways, we can use to communicate with MSN Network people - and they won't even know we're chatting writting on a PDA.
In order to do this, we need to register a new account on the Jabber network using any pc-mac jabber client (Exodus for Win machines worked fine for me). Just login with your prefered user name and password and you're done. After that, we need to subscribe to a jabber network server's MSN gateway, as it's a service not all servers provide. You can do all this with Exodus, it's pretty self explanatory playing around with it.

After this, the Palm-side client I choosed was Chat opus.
http://www.chatopus.com
Among other wonders, it uses the whole screen of the TH55, and also it runs in the background, allowing to use the clié and warning of new incomming messages.
Just install, login with your jabber account login, and there you go, automatically all the MSN contacts will show up, allowing you to chat.
Hope this message helps anyone...
And a doubt I had about other subjects, is:
1. There's any japanese input method for the TH55? I tried many, also hacks, and the only "usable" tool I could find so far is the PAdict with highres fonts, which is just great. But I can't take notes in japanese or type japanese on the CO... any help on this?
Cheers from Spain!
