The world’s most popular instant messaging service, Windows Live™ Messenger, is now available via Nokia Messaging*. Accessible through the Nokia Messaging Chat application, people worldwide can have multiple conversations simultaneously, change their status and personal messages, and manage their Windows Live buddy lists straight from their homescreen. 

This first installment of Windows Live™ Messenger for Nokia Messaging includes tabbed chat windows, the ability to call directly from the buddy list, and notifications of new messages that pop up while the application is in the background making multitasking even easier. ‘Invisible’ login is also an option, which means you can sign in to Windows Live™ Messenger but still appear offline to your friends – making it easy to choose who you want to talk to. Familiar desktop features such as grouped contacts, emoticons and sounds are also available.  

The Nokia E72 is the first device that comes with Chat and support for Windows Live™ Messenger, while the Nokia E63, Nokia E71 and Nokia E75 require a download of ‘Nokia Messaging for IM’ from Ovi Store. Alternatively, visit Nokia Beta Labs. Stay tuned for more additions to the cast of compatible devices.
