My phone (i-mate SP5m) is the same phone as the SDA (just not T-Mobile branded). A difference would be my phone is running the i-mate ROM.
I saw Gryphon's post the other day that he and his boss could not sign on to MSN messenger so I decided to try it out. I set up an account and have had no problems using the service since.
I sign on by selecting Pocket MSN on the start menu then the first option is MSN Messenger. That brings up the sign on screen so I press the joystick in and it signs me in. No problem. I just did it as I was typing this to verify it's working TODAY and it is. My phone is on the Cingular network.
I've never used this service on my laptop so I just went to MSN.com to install the messenger service and the download is for "Windows Live Messenger" and says nothing about beta.
The service I'm logging on to from my phone and using successfully is the one that came built into the ROM from the get go.
