Pocket MSN for Samsung SGH-i600 WM5 Smartphone

I'm using a Samsung SGH-i600 WM5 smartphone. Surprisingly, it come without
Pocket MSN, so I can't check my Hotmail or chat in MSN Messenger. I want to
download and install Pocket MSN. I did so, and Microsoft website stated that
I have to pay US$ 19.95 for it. I'm OK to pay, but I can't!!! Microsoft
stated that there is no plan for my region/country.

How can I get a working copy of Pocket MSN? Help please

Regards

Re: Pocket MSN for Samsung SGH-i600 WM5 Smartphone

Weird... Is it a carrier version of the i600 or the original non-carrier
branded one?
On my carrier free i600 I have the MSN and Messenger.

Check /Windows/ folder for pmsn (Pocket MSN) and instmsg (Messenger).

Re: Pocket MSN for Samsung SGH-i600 WM5 Smartphone

My SGH-i600 was purchased in Thailand. I have talked to Microsoft Thailand
people and they also don't know why Samsung decided to take out Pocket MSN.

I'm OK to buy Pocket MSN from Microsoft for US$ 19.95 but I can't do that.
MS website say that I'm out of service area!!!

Help me to get a working version of Pocket MSN or Windows Live please. It's
not my fault to be excluded because of Samsung!
