Multiple sessions of Messenger allowed...but not on Blackberry?

I just downloaded the latest version of Live Messenger and noticed that I
can be signed on to Messenger in more than one location. This is a great
feature but the only reason why I would do this is because I have Messenger
installed on my Blackberry (like Office Communicator). I tried to sign into
both my PC and Blackberry but I can only sign into one session. I have the
latest Messenger installed on my Blackberry. Any Ideas?

Re: Multiple sessions of Messenger allowed...but not on Blackberry?

Greetings,

The multiple sessions are only available on the new client which utilizes the new version of
the protocol that supports this feature.

All other clients (as of this date I'm posting this), including but not limited to the Mac
client, the Xbox (including NXE) client, the Windows Mobile client, the Blackberry client,
Nokia client, etc. etc. etc. do not support this and will log you out from the new logged in
client when you sign in.

It'll probably be awhile before all these clients are updated. Till then to make use of the
multiple presence feature, you need to be signing in from 2009 everywhere.
