MSN Messenger

msn china has the official S60 version client, but it's only available to one network provider in china, not to other chinese providers even.

but at least we know MS would approve this for non windows based mobile platform

this is the flash presentation of the client:

from the supported models of the phones, the client seems to be written in java, and even sends voice clip too.

There�s already a lot of messenger applications for S60v3. Check on software section of this site.

I was looking for suggestions from other ppl who use the other clients, and to see if anyone else might know if MS plan on giving us the client itself for Symbian OS's.

You have several free. I don�t remember all the names, but could be eMSN, Quick IM, Hier.sis and others...

there's on available from nokia.hk - the link is here somewhere i believe. this is the official msn for symbian. is a lot more stable and user friendly than the others about written in java etc.

Cool, I never realised you could actually do this... Is the one downloaded from the Nokia site in chinese?

Also is anyone on Orange with a Web bolt on... if so which bolt on do you have? Thanks

Works pretty well! 😉

yup, all works fine and just to clarify - its in ENGLISH not japanese or chinese 😊

If I were to add a 4MB allowance to my Orange contract... roughly how much time could I use messenger for? Thanks agin

If anyone is wondering (cos I was) you can enter a non-hotmail address even though it says '@hotmail.com' after the username entry area. Just type the full address and that text changes to 'other email'.
I've used it with my gmail-based live account and it works fine

I've downloaded the app, and I've got it running. However, when I try to connect through the WLAN, it has problems signing in, or doesn't sign in should i say. Does anyone know why? I get the time-out error. Thanks again

Mine works via my WLAN so I cannot help other than to say its not impossible with this program :redface:

Update - I've logged in, and once out of about 10 times has it shown my contact, all the other times it just loads with a blank screen and my e-mail addy at the top... Looking excellent at the minute tho 😃

tried installing this and i just get an 'update error' and it fails

:con?

I just went to test the "official" client .. and it sure looks like it.

It was working 2 days ago.

Ah well back to using Fring I guess

Same here seems they have caught on. I guess they don't want symbian phones outside of china / hong kong / taiwan from having msn, except for their Windows Mobile Phone devices.

It's not that they don't want symbian devices using it, its because they want to charge you for the luxury or using it. Any money they charge us a subscription cost or one off charge for the luxury of developing it. :frown:

I think their is an official MSN client for users of 3 network in UK, but you can only download it from the 3 WAP pages.

Ive seen all their free MSN messenger ads on their website and stuff

I think its a JAVA client, and it wouldnt let me download it to my N95, probably becuase its not on the list yet, but as its JAVA i dont see why it wont work.

Anyone fill me in on this?
