I hear there is a "messenger application" preinstalled on the Nokia
6680.  Does this allow you to connect to any IM network (ie, MSN, Yahoo
etc)??

Many thanks in advance.

No but you can download Agile Messenger for free.

Ok thanks.  I'll do that.

If the 6680 does not support MSN IM, what IM networks DOES it support?

Thanks,

It does support MSN but you have to pay a subscription to Microsoft, goto
their website mobile.msn.com

Agile messenger is the way to go.
It's completely free to use
All you pay is your GPRS charges while sending and receiving messages

Also java-based messengers work, like IM+, QuickIM and Jimm (for ICQ,
not MSN).

What the Smarthone and java messengers dont have is support for contact
blocking and log saving. IM+ does support contact blocking but its not free.

I installed Agile Messenger on my 6680 and it's very good.  Highly
recommended.  Simple, free and painless.  it works.

Yep a great little program, and its free too. Would be good if they
could add vibrate alert when you get messages, like the Windows based
smartphones have.

yeah that would be cool!

I've had a few small problems with it so far, for instance it shows
some (only some) of my blocked contacts as not blocked, and I can't see
a way to block them in agile.
