Why has the yahoo go 1.0 stopped ?

Question

Why is the mobile version of yahoo Go 1.0 been stopped ? The later version 2.0 is rather less featured compared to its predecessor ver 1.0. there is no messenger and the push mail sucks. Then why ?

Answer 1

FINALLY I found that I'm not the only one who loathes this "upgrade". I must have sent half a dozen issues to their feedback department. The 2.0 sucks because it's slow and you MUST have a network connection to use it, so if you have an important e-mail you'll need to reference (I just bought three plane tickets through Yahoo travel), DON'T use your yahoo e-mail address - if you're at the airport and there's not a good connection, you're fuxored. (This includes contacts and calendar.)

Yahoo is acting like Microsoft - a huge app that takes too much resources, was poorly designed, and now they've shut down their old servers so you can't even use the good software that worked. It took my a dozen attempts (at 2+ minutes each) to log in because the password entry screen sucks.

So many great features of my phone aren't piped into 2.0, so it's like stepping backwards. What in the world was Yahoo thinking? I went from a huge Yahoo user many many years ago, to slowly using less and less as the competition had better products, back up to a huge user after I installed 1.0. It made Yahoo an extension of my phone; my most valuable technology object. Now, they've made such a poor move, I'm not back to just where I was nine months ago - I'm upset by this bad move so I'm going to start making a conscious effort to not use anything of theirs - I just can't trust them.

Answer 2

I looked at Gmail also, as an alternative to this

"fine ;-(  mess"

we have been left with in Yahoo with NO Help from Yahoo in fixing obvious flaws and features USERS liked.

If you have a PDA or Blackberry, Gmail is geared for you,

if you have Windows Mobile, forget it, they don't support it at this time,,,, gee maybe someone from Google should consider this an opportunity to kick Yahoo's @$$ and step up with a new version that includes the features we now no longer have in Yahoo?????

Answer 3

Time to Switch to GOOGLE

I also wanted to point out that the 1.0 doesnt work properly on WM6 due to the changes in poutlook.

I really prefered having my email in poutlook instead of the slow clunky web interface...pretty much 2.0 is just a glam interface to the web...no reason to force a data connection just to read my email, it should have already been downloaded. LIKE IN 1.0!!!
