MSN on the N95?

[adz06]

Hi

Is it possible to get an MSN Messenger application for the N95? I've looked at some of the software listed on here but nothing seems to install?

Thanks

On Nokia HK's website, MSN Messenger is available to download for free for the Nseries phones:

http://www.nokia.com.hk/nokia/0,,98969,00.html - 5th one down.

That page is for the N73, but the program works all the same - I've been using it on my N95 for over a week now!

Hope that helps.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Ok I've installed it but how do I run it? Theres no icon in the applications menu? Am I missing something?

Thanks

There should be an icon - check the bottom of the Applications Folder

It deffinently not there, I've installed other things which have appeard there. I'll try reinstalling.

I have found that alot of the S60 3rd Ed stuff wont install, keep getting the error "Installation of ****** Not Supported".

Shouldn't all S60 3rd ed apps work with the N95?

Found it !

The install creates a new folder, called internet - like on the N73/N80 etc ..
Shortcut is in there .. you can then move to whereever you like

Cool, thanks! Don't know why I didn't see that earlier!

I take I just start it, then leave it running in the background to pickup messages? (I've never used MSN on a phone before!)

yep thats about it (used it on my 9500) only thing to remember is thats its always 'online' so if your using 3G/GPRS might start to cost .. better to use Wi-Fi

Not a problem for me, Orange have just given me a whole year unlimited date usage free, so I want to make the most of it!

Thanks so much for your help everyone!

Hi installed messenger on my N95 and it worked fine for a couple of weeks. Now, however, when I try to log on it says the service is not available outside Hong Kong, China or Taiwan... Any ideas?

Its blocked server side, it seems MSN china has caught on and blocked anyone outside china, taiwan or hong kong from using this version. Youll have to get software like QuickIM if you want to use MSN now.
