I really don't understand, first we had the wireless village protocol. a lot of the industry agreed this would be the standard for mobile IM, although it integrated well in the phone the trouble was, no one wanted to offer the needed server, (or if they did it was too unreliable) i see this feature is no longer available in the n97 so i guess thats the end of the built in IM client?
anyway, then we get all the other 3rd party apps to choose from, all support just about all of the IM protocols but i've yet to find one i really like. but now we have ovi contacts. a good move was to build it on the xmpp standard but thats not yet truely mainstream, it features some nice touches that i really like but i still cannot talk to my yahoo contacts? but now i see nokia working on a client for the E series that supports yahoo right from the first beta? what are nokia playing at? why can't time be spend producing one killer IM application instead of wasting time producing 2 ?
