Press on the status bar (where battery and signal strength is at), hit "Availability", then u'll see a lists of accounts (if not then select "accounts" and enable the one you want to get online), select "Online" is located on the top bar, next to "Busy" and "Offline". U'll have to hit save after selecting online. U'll then see a green bullet-shaped icon on the status area when you are logged in. Select "Offline" to log out. Your friends list will be added to ur Contact when you are online. To view just your msn contacts, go to "Contacts", select "All Contacts" from the top bar, select "Groups" then MSN (Haze), that will filter out and show ur msn contacts. Hope this helps
