For those of you having problems with MSN plugins, have you given pecan a go? I installed it on the recommendation from another forum and it is pretty rocksolid. It connects easily and doesn't eat battery life.

I've used it for about a week now and the only bug I have discovered is that it sometimes disconnects and reconnects on its own accord. It happens about once or twice a day and I've never actually had it happen to me while I was using the device, I just hear the MSN sign in sound while the device is in standby.

Unfortunately it doesn't seemto support many features, i think it only provides the basic text chat.
