S60 Open to new features

Also, why isn't it in the Downloads! app? I've seen other things pop up in there recently.

Based on the comments from the users on that blog page looks pretty buggy to me.

I'd love something like Adium and Colloquy rolled into one native application? I'd donate to the cause.

I think they likely don't do it directly because they are afraid operators would less than like it.

Apart from the usual memory issues (apps closing by themselves in S60), this Windows Live Messenger for S60 3rd Ed. seems to work just fine. It's a lot better than the previous version distributed on Nokia's Hong Kong website.

I posted my experiences in my blog, in case Microsoft and Nokia want to fine tune this nice app. However, they're in Finnish only, sorry

I am not surprised at all, taking into account that Nokia has a history of acting user-unfriendly. However, this is great news since I never had any problems with the last version either.

The reason Nokia/MS isn't doing something like this is, as said before, the operators don't want this. They want to make loads of cash on texting the old-fashioned way. And Nokias costumers are the operators, not the uesrs.
If this feature was built-in, no operators would sell it, and nobody wants to buy a phone without subsidies from the operator.

it s interesting.
