Why would you have to wait for hours ?? Say you are working on computer and talking with people online but then you have to leave ....you can just log off from MSN on computer and login on N900, you'll be able to communicate without any issue.
That's not a solution. I change between my computers (incl N900) tens of times a day. There's no way I will remember to go offline/online each time, and there's no way I can keep track of which computer happens to be online at every given moment. That means I will have unanswered messages waiting for hours on computers I'm not sitting at.

And, when the IM client goes offline for some reason (connectivity problems or whatever), it should automatically go online again, as soon as possible. That means that if I go online on my phone, the client on my computer will be forced offline. And then it will immediately go online again, forcing my phone to go offline. Then my phone will immediately go online again, forcing my computer to go offline. And the bouncing game is on.

Skype, Gtalk and even Facebook are online on all computers all the time. I doesn't matter where I am, I will immediately get the message. Works perfectly.
