I thought Microsoft and Verizon just cut a deal for the MSN stuff. Doesn't seem like Microsoft would allow this with a client.

How many messages does it allow you to send? Unless it's unlimited it's kind of expensive if you have to pay for each message sent. I know AT&T already has this but they give you like 100 messages for 3 bucks or something and you have to pay for more.

Exactly. I've got both AIM and Verizon, but there's no way in hell I'd be stupid enough to sit there and go "click... click click.... ....click......click" when I could press a button, say their name, and have the phone automaticaly call them so I can talk real-time.

It has been available on Powertel/VoiceStream since I switched almost a year ago, although I have never used it.

BTW, VoiceStream service rocks.

For times when a person is on their phone on the net and you need to get in contact with them..

Also, I have a whole lot more people on my buddy list then stored in my phone. Never know when you are going to need to contact someone.
