I may be embarrassing myself here as some-one who does not really have his pulse on Windows Phone 7, but as far as I can recall, and a quick search did not reveal ever, we have yet to see a Windows Live Messenger for Windows Phone 7.
Messenger Windows Phone App
Messenger is an official app for Windows Phone developed by Facebook Inc, through which you can comfortably communicate with your friends in the same-name social network. For many, it remains a mystery why the previous application was left without any means of direct communication via chat, and the new one appeared. If you add a mobile phone number to Messenger, this allows us to confirm your mobile phone number by finding the confirmation code that we send via text message (SMS). We may update this, so check back here to learn more about Android permissions and how we use them.

What prompted this post was the news that the latest beta of Microsoft Live Essentials 2011 now includes working Facebook chat, making the largest IM network in the world interface even better with the largest social network in the world.
Windows Live Messenger, while not very popular in USA, has 330 million active users and is extremely popular in Europe and Asia. Its recent iterations have included many innovations, include easy picture and video sharing, which would also translate very well to a mobile platform, and the software’s presence would certainly be missed, especially since the software is already available on the iPhone and expected to come to Android sooner rather than later.
Worryingly the KIN also shipped without an IM client, a piece of software often frowned on by carriers as it reduced the need for SMS messages.
