Nokia Messaging IM BETA Adds
Desktop-like Instant Messaging Experience

Davis Fields, a guest writer over at Nokia Beta Labs, has just rolled out the first Beta version of the Nokia Messaging/IM application for the Nokia E75.

"E75 IM Beta" is deeply integrated into Nokia Messaging application and offers a near desktop-like instant messaging experience on your mobile device.

It allows you to stay in contact with your friends across multiple communities, easily switch between and save conversations and login invisibly. IM is initially available for the Nokia E75 - the first Nokia S60 device bundled with a lifetime subscription to the Nokia Messaging service.

They are also planning to add support for more devices and more communities soon. Ovi Contacts and Ovi Mail are focused on the Ovi Community. Nokia Messaging mobilizes these as well as other communities like Yahoo!
