I use the MSN Pecan conversations plugin on my N900.
Works great. Integrates fully with my contacts also.

MSN is a Micrrosoft product. Please contact Microsoft customer support and ask them to port their application to GNU/Linux so you can run in on your Nokia phone.

@rambo - do you find a big difference in battery life for jabber vs msn(pecan)? i find that the battery drain on pecan isnt significantly worse than jabber

@osmelg - you represent the 0.0001% of N900 users that would prefer to use the official microsoft messenger rather than any alternative. write to ballmer...

Actually, it's the opposite. Of course, it depends on the implementation, but on avg. to comply with protocol requirements, MSN eats less than Jabber (bandwidth wise) and has fewer beacons that will constantly wake up the connection.

But out of them all Skype is the worst, we'll have to wait and see whether they'll fulfill their promise to trim-down their protocol.

Bingo. I don't think you'll find an official MSN app on any device (but Windows Mobile).

Try with Gaze, it works perfectly unlike the Pecan which couldn't even log me in. The only problem with Gaze that I've experienced is handling messages from users with status 'Appear offline'
