AnswerInstall MyPhone using 'Other' email (not Live or Hotmail)

    I have an established Windows Live account using my own domain email address (myname@getmefit.net).  When I went to setup MyPhone I was forced to use one of my live.com (getmefit@live.com) although I tried to use 'Other' in the drop down selection.  I would like to re-install using my domain email address.  Any suggestions?

    This might be a mute point as I am beginning to see that MyPhone seems to work as it's own Island.  It appears MyPhone does not share/sync to existing 'Windows Live' Calendars or Contacts.  Ugh... I was beginning to think Microsoft has finally got the upper hand in mobile computing.  What I see is Smart but... It requires you to begin working from the handheld device (MyPhone on the Phone) and work upward to a 'Contact Management System' (Calendar, Contacts, Activities) working on your desktop. The Objective: Have your Phone be a smart device on your personal network and controlled by your desktop.  The Problem is: We have already created a Live ID and MyPhone does not work with it.  Furthermore, my primary Live ID has a domain not Live or Hotmail.  Please Advise.

    One Last thing...
    For the time being, give the Online MyPhone Calendar the same 'look & feel' of the Live Calendar.  This would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi qmarshall2,

    You can use any Live ID to sign in.

    After you select other, then you just need to type using the hardware or virtual keyboard to insert your e-mail domain into it.

    Let me know if you need any other clarification.

    Thanks for using the service, your feedback is appreciated.

    I was having the same problem, so this solved it for me.

    But this is so NOT obvious...
