I set it up on my desktop, following the instructions on the link. Then all my contacts from Yahoo & MSN began to appear on my Google Talk messenger on my Pre. My contacts simply use their native messenger and I receive it all on my Pre and my status shows as online on both MSN & Yahoo.   08/02/2009, 07:39 PM   #6 (permalink) TreoRock Member     Join Date: Mar 2000 Location: CA Posts: 2,409 Thanks: 133 Thanked 33 Times in 24 Posts Don't waste your time trying to make this work because it doesn't work. Google has disable this and though you can get your contacts transferred, you will be always offline and will not be able to chat. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
