I dont use the integrated IM system on the N9.
I hate the fact that all goes to contacts and have no dedicaded app.

I was wondering if there are any chances that Trillian will be modified for Meego.
Or any other good IM app that integrates all the common services (msn, facebook, etc)
I tryed peregrine, seems nice but needs the phone to have the accounts and to be online..

omg, thats n9 strength and you dont like it? Android seems ok for you then,

Any reason that if someone likes N9, they should like each and every feature of it?

so you buy n9 for anything that you dont like? I dont like wp, so i will never buy that thing again,

Don't know if it helps, but if you go to the messages app and tap the icon on the lower right, you'll get to a "chat screen" with your contacts sorted by availability, kinda what you'd get from a dedicated app.

also in contact you can choose what service to show. you can show only google, or only skype, or etc.

But there are a lot of another problems.
Like it needs internet to sync contacts, and if non existant, all the info is gone.
The contacts system is too confusing
