even if you have desktop contacts ?? and if you tap the button in ur 'conversations menu' "NEW instant message".. because if i tap the new instant message button, it says that i dont have any contacts.. but if i tap the contactsbook button i can see the status of my contacts.. weird isnt it ? ive tried everything.. un installing and reinstalling the app, tried even msn (haze). but even that didnt worked for me.. and i dont want to reflash my n900 again for the second time for an app -_-
