You are probably right, I forgot that I usually have skype on with MSN as well and Jabber only is well, Jabber only...

question is very valid. Since Microsoft does not support linux, there will be no official live messenger for n900, period. Having said that, Pidgin is NOT the best alternative. Its the most stable of alternatives so if you want to use msn on n900, use pidgin. Best linux alternatives for live messenger are kmess and emesene and unfortunately none of the gurus have tried porting it.

thanks to the awesomeness of microb, live messenger can also be used online @ http://webim.live.sg/

I wonder how MS would respond to an ever so polite request for a port of their apps.

Unfortunately none of them support MSNP16. I don't believe any non-official clients or libraries do. I'd like it for MPOP.

ahh thx for the info.

"It features "Multiple Points of Presence" (MPOP), the ability to sign in at 2 places at the same time with having chats replicated at all places."

thats how skype works. and thats how it should work if you just have a laptop/desktop and a mobile like the N900.
Skype just does that exactly, Google talk doesnt

Off course this is just my stupid opinion. But in my eyes pidgin of butterfly is just brilliant!
IM's show up in the Inbox widget, you get nice notifications, you got a very clear contacts list and IMdisplay and its integrated with your contacts(so if you want to text someone but you got a small dataplan its always nice to find out that you can also chat with him instead of spending your SMS).

Only problem could be a too long contacts list, but who cares? You type 1/2 letters and you found your man! I did the same before using pidgin

How cool it would be if you could select to view only IM-friends and vice versa? Of course you can view it by selecting the group but having it as a automatic thing would be awesome (maybe switching between groups by moving your finger same way you can skim thru pictures?)

I had installed haze and it used to work fine. I disabled it a while back, now trying to reenable it and it doesn't work.

Any of you guys know what should I do now?
