i think if one wants IM, N900 is the last device he/she should buy. This is a shiitty device for IM.

If you look around in forums, more than 95% of people find problems connecting. 5% are lucky purely by randomness.

Same for me, I extremely disappointed with Nokia conning me into buying this device for IM. I like it for many other reasons, but IM is really poor.

e.g. my gtalk doesnt connect.

I installed the jabber plugin, and also the pigdin plugin... Cannot connect to gtalk through either.

Cannot connect to meebo.org or even facebook....

Feel like banging the n900 on the floor given the many days i wasted on solving this....

waiting for liveprofile to be released (hope it is not another scam)
