Place the aim.alx in the following path C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\8310-v4.5.0.69_P2.7.0.72 (I am running 4.5.0.69, yours will be different)

Open up Blackberry Manager and click on Application Loader

You will now see AIM in the list, check it and hit next to complete this step.

Now download the Service Books from here

Use Desktop Manager again and click on Backup and Restore

Click Advanced

Click File > Open > Choose Service_Books.ipd and send it over.

Once this is done AIM will now work on your phone. It least its done for me.

The main issue is they don’t even use two-factor authentication which to me is a big fail on their part. I know most banks use a faux two-factor but its something. Mint could have given away secure id key tags as part of their initial marketing instead of buying good reviews and reccomendations on popular blogs. Another fail on their part is not allowing you to either import a quicken or money file from your bank or to even manually enter transactions. This could have shown people their “cool web 2.0″ interface in a more secure fashion. The last thing I will say is mint.com will be a HUGE TARGET for attacks now as more mainstream people start to use it. All it takes is one determined hacker and maybe a misplaced backup or disgruntled employee and well you are sold to the highest bidder. For me I’ll stick to excel for my budgeting. Its simple and just works for me.

Oh, yeah ING makes it SECURE not difficult mint you should learn something from them.
