Just curious the Instant Messenging app has been built into Nokia phones for a while now, but has any1 actual used it?

I know theres a zillion other apps available that do the task like Agile but has any1 actually used the built in app?

Would like to hear your experiences

I couldn't get it to work and from what I gather from reading the manual, it is dependent upon your Network provider supporting IM specifically, as it hooks into their system. I couldn't get it to use Yahoo for instance.

Happy to be told otherwise, if someone gets it working though.

The IM program is not for a standard protocol as MSN, yahoo, AIM, whatever. It is an network based communication between mobiles. Only few operators have this.
