Instant Messaging for the Nokia E61
I am a messaging/communication junkie. If I am not talking on the phone I am constantly checking and sending email. I am currently using BlackBerry Connect but more about that in a later post. but I also use SMS and IM quite a lot.
If you buy your Nokia E61 (or any other E-series devices) directly from the carrier you will most likely get the device preloaded with the necessary settings to use the native IM applications that comes with the device. However, if you like me, didn't get your Nokia E61 from the carrier you don't have the necessary settings to use the proloaded IM application.
Luckily, there are plenty of IM software alternatives to use instead. One is Agile Messenger from Agile Mobile. They recently announced a free pre-release version of Agile Mobile for the E-series.
Agile Mobile has been around for years and their product Agile Mobile gives you much of the same feature and functionality you would expect from a multi-IM application on the PC. It lets you simultaneously connect to ICQ, AIM, Yahoo!, MSN and Google Talk. The application keeps a separate tab for each conversation, supports the use of emoticons, conversation history and lets you edit your contacts from the device. In short. it is a solid IM application with a loyal following.
It is important to take note that this is a "pre-release" version (read: alpha or beta). There are quite a few anomalies with the software on the E61 but as I said - it's just a pre-release version.
The oddities are more in the areas of UI/cosmetics than functionality so it is still quite useful. One peculiarity is that the two soft buttons on the screen are not mapped correctly to the device buttons as you can see from picture below. Here is a hint - the left selection key is "connect". Press the right selection key and the application will exit.
Another IM application for the Nokia E61 is IM+ by Shape Services. They have a comparable feature set to Agile Mobile and have a five day trial of the application wich includes support for the E-series devices. There are also a number of dedicated Java IM applications that works fairly well on the Nokia E61. One of them is the application by the name of - Mig33!
I have purposely left this post "open ended" and probably also left out many other good IM applications. But here is where you, the reader comes in. Share with us your "favourite" IM application.

Personally, I think paying $30 for a subpar IM client is just silly.
Yeah, I’m talking about IM+.
July 10th, 2006 at 10:30 am
All clients I have tried seem to show me as Offline in Windows Live Messenger, regardless my status. Very irritating.
July 10th, 2006 at 1:36 pm
ouch! even with your phone set to silent Agile Messenger is ultra loud!
July 10th, 2006 at 3:03 pm
Hi Robbro,
That is so TRUE! I guess I forgot to warn everyone about that. I did the same thing as you - set my Nokia E61 to silent only to have the Agile Mobile incoming IM sound go off. A sound and a volume so loud that it could raise the dead….
July 10th, 2006 at 5:46 pm
You can get MSN to work using the smartvas IMPS server. Yamigo is supposed to work but for whatever reason, it doesn’t seem compatible with the E series client.
Has anyone come across other IMPS servers that support all the major platforms (Yahoo, AOL and MSN)?
July 11th, 2006 at 6:26 am
I’ve tried the preview version of Agile and it works pretty well, apart from AOL. I use my .mac email to log into AOL and that requires connecting to AOL’s OSCAR server, as oppose to TOC. Agile can only connect to TOC so that is no good for me.
Then I tried IM+ and it works with OSCAR, and its UI is much more S60 then Agile.
One more thing about Agile that I don’t like is that Agile uses its own proxy server for connecting to multiple services for you. Whereas IM+ connects directly to the IM services. I don’t particularly want to get tied into a proxy service where it can take me hostage over my mobile IM on a monthly or yearly basis.
July 11th, 2006 at 10:10 am
i prefer mabber. mabber is a mobile client for jabber http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabber and u can connect to aim/icq/irc/msn/yahoo/jabber through server side transports. jabber is the best protocoll i think. got to mabber.com or mabber.de . and the best: it is free !
also see blog.mabber.com if u want.
July 11th, 2006 at 10:29 am
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure to try out Mabber.
July 11th, 2006 at 12:00 pm
no problem. btw u can use this jabber-account from home, too. only take ur prefered jabberclient for mac or linux or windows …. or u use the webbased flash-client from every pc on the world without a client.
July 11th, 2006 at 7:45 pm
I like IM+ overall…but it can’t seem to stay connected to AOL on my E70. It logs in and then drops my connection within a few seconds. I’m hoping it’s just a settings issue…i had to buy the darn software!
July 12th, 2006 at 5:58 am
Hey…
will check out mabber. Note that Nokia Europe says that there is an IM client present with the E61 that can access yahoo etc ?

Hi Activity,
There is a built in IM application that is supposed to be great. However, if you buy the device unlocked you don’t get the necessary server settings since they are closely guarded by the carriers and IM guys.
July 13th, 2006 at 3:44 pm
So with all this said and done … Is there any application that will allow you to connect to AIM over GPRS ?
July 13th, 2006 at 5:05 pm
Hi Matthew,
Agile Mobile works with AOL AIM. I am using it right now.
July 13th, 2006 at 6:21 pm
IM+ works with AOL too.
July 14th, 2006 at 3:03 pm
Grrrr…..I want Skype on my S60!!!!!!!!!!!
July 14th, 2006 at 5:28 pm
I second that! It just has to be coming….

Hi Todd,
Try this:

July 19th, 2006 at 10:45 pm
i did that and it does not make a difference. when it is done downloading it says application not supported. both with agile messnger and adobe pdf reader from nokia site. i have no idea why. help please?
thanks,
todd
July 19th, 2006 at 10:52 pm
Hi Todd,
That is strange. Can you double check that you changed the settings under Tools > App. mgr > Options > Settings Change “software installation” from “Signed Only” to “All” and “Onlline certic check” to “off”.
I have heard other readers having problems with setting this to “off” so it could be worth double checking.
July 19th, 2006 at 10:54 pm
yeah i have it set to all and off. still no luck. any other ideas?
t
July 19th, 2006 at 10:56 pm
i am doing this over wifi. that shouldnt make a difference i dont think. it just keeps saying installation of “” “” agile”" not supported
July 19th, 2006 at 11:06 pm
no sis files will install. i get all the same errors. even on hot spot finder. any idea what the fix is for this. its kinda upsetting me.. thanks alot guys.
todd
July 20th, 2006 at 1:05 am
i was able to install the file thru a pc and it worked. still cant dl though. i have got agile messenger running, but it keeps giving me a wrong password error when i know it is 100% correct. is this program buggy?
July 20th, 2006 at 6:42 am
It’s a prerelease version so there are certainly some glitches in the program but it worked for me.
July 20th, 2006 at 4:25 pm
i have it loade, but it keeps telling me the password is in correct. this is very weird. any suggestions as i can log in on any other computer fine
July 21st, 2006 at 3:06 am
(to todd) installing sis files through web browser usually does not work, no clue why. But if you zip it first, then download via web browser, it’s opened in zip manager and it’s happy
to install software for you.

July 28th, 2006 at 11:33 pm
I currently have my e61 on tmobile and use tzones @ $6 a month to get all my web and email … However is there a way to get tzones to work with AIM?
July 28th, 2006 at 11:43 pm
Hi Matthew,
Have you tried using it with IM+ or Agile Mobile?
July 29th, 2006 at 11:28 am
IM+ support sent me an email saying that the e70 AIM glitch is something they are aware of. They suggested to me that I create another AIM account and load in just a few of my most frequent contacts. And as of this moment, the only AIM client that i found which works over T-zones is IM+.
July 29th, 2006 at 5:06 pm
Interesting … I will have to try that. So the software wont work because of to many buddies on your list?
July 29th, 2006 at 5:14 pm
So apparently t mobile blocks port 80 while using T zones, is there anyway around this ?
July 30th, 2006 at 1:38 am
There is a way around T-zone’s blocking of port 80. Just set it to t-mobile’s proxy server at port 8080. Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Access Points -> find ‘t-zones’ -> Options -> Advanced Settings -> enter proxy server address ‘getmorespeed.t-mobile.com’ and set the proxy port to 8080. That should get the browser to work under t-zones.
Under IM+, I just set the port for AOL to be 110 instead of the standard 5190.
Under IM+ Option Menu select Services-> AOL -> Preferences -> Set port to 110.
I wish Agile Messenger would have this options, but they don’t.
July 30th, 2006 at 9:16 am
any gmail clients out there?
July 30th, 2006 at 9:17 am
edit> gtalk clients
July 30th, 2006 at 5:11 pm
Thanks so much henry, that worked …
Hooray, i owe you a beer
August 13th, 2006 at 3:08 pm
I have the E61 with the three network in the UK. I couldn’t see an inbult chat prog so I downloaded agile. It installed OK (except the soft button bug of course) but I can not log into Yahoo or gtalk. I ran diagnostics and it says my internet connection is working but it puts an “x” next to all the IM providers names.
I am connecting through my networks 3G connection. Any ideas? Could they have blocked this somehow?
August 17th, 2006 at 8:43 pm
Hi,
I’ve installed and run AgileMessenger (ver. 3.76) for about 1.5 weeks and it’s been working beautifully except for when I tried to run it today. It keeps coming up with the following error msg –>
“Fatal error occured, please reinstall AgileMessenger.”
I tried to uninstall and re-install it but each time I run it, it gives me the same problem. Has anyone come across this problem? If so, do you know how to overcome this problem?
Thanks!
Andrew
August 17th, 2006 at 10:03 pm
I am having that problem as well. With the fatal error message can anyone help us out? thanks
August 17th, 2006 at 10:26 pm
I came across the same problem but ive got no solution
August 18th, 2006 at 1:23 am
Hi Hand & Mitesh,
Thanks for responding. I suspect it could be a built-in “time bomb”.
I’ve just installed IM+’s 5-day trial and it’s working well. Too bad it’s only a trial for 5 days. I’m trying to weigh out the pros & cons between AgileMessenger & IM+ as they both quite usable. Just trying to figure out which co. to give my $30 to…
I just received a call from a friend who also owns an E61 and his AgileMessenger has also given him the same problem.
Cheers,
Andrew
August 18th, 2006 at 3:45 am
Hi Hand, Mitesh and Andrew,
Well at least I am a little relieved that Agile Messenger not working was as a result of some recent downloads I made. I am using an E 61 in Jamaica and also got the fatal error message for the first time today.
I tried various fixes but no luck so far.
If anyone comes up with a solution, please share.
Thanks
Chris
August 18th, 2006 at 8:55 pm
I had the same problem - “Fatal error occured, please reinstall AgileMessenger.”
I think I’ll give a shot to IM+.
We don’t really have a choice if we want to use an IM client.
August 19th, 2006 at 8:20 am
I have been reading trough all, I am receiving mine next, and already looking for to teak mine as well, what I need is :
Googletalk as IM
Skype
and you knows and Efax application
Has anyone any idea how do I go about that using the costless solution ??
thank to the community,
August 20th, 2006 at 9:08 pm
Hi Chris, Han, Mitesh & Dreamcatcher,
AgileMessenger works once again. As I suspected, it must’ve been a built-in “expiry date” set by AM. Check out the following thread for details:-
http://www.agilemobile.com/support/viewtopic.php?t=982
I’m a bit torn between Agile and IM+ now. I like them both but will only purchase one.
Cheers,
Andrew
August 20th, 2006 at 9:12 pm
Hi Olivier,
For Googletalk, try AgileMessenger –> http://www.agilemobile.com/downloads.html
Download it and test it out. It is a beta version that is free until they release the paid version.
For skype, take a look at http://www.soonr.com. You will need to have leave your PC/lapotp on @ home/office for this to work. You will probably also have to purchase some SkypeOut credits.
I don’t know any faxing solutions. You may need to check with your service provider. I believe it, too is a paid service.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Cheers,
Andrew
August 29th, 2006 at 5:55 pm
I have found both IM+ and agile to be spotty. Is it not possible to put the galk settings in the internal IM software that comes with the E61?
August 29th, 2006 at 9:40 pm
Hi Tingo99
I agree with you that IM+ and Agile are not the best IM solutions. However, unless you buy the device from a carrier (and the carrier offers IM as a service and preload the settings) I don’t think it is possible to use the built in IM application.
I could be wrong but I haven’t heard of anyone who has gotten the native IM application to work.
Cheers,
Ed
August 29th, 2006 at 11:57 pm
AgileMessenger is at it again. I tried to start it this morning and got the following error msg:-
“Fatal error occured, please reinstall AgileMessenger.”
Someone else got the same problem:-

September 7th, 2006 at 4:49 pm
[...] Unless you buy your Nokia E61 from a carrier, which also promotes the use of mobile IM, there is no* way of using the built-in IM client. There are IM applications alternative for the Nokia E61 - IM+ and Agile Mobile per a previous post. [...]

So, nobody uses Jimm, huh
Jimm is a free ICQ IM client. Very very very good one.
http://www.jimm.org - sorry, only icq, but I’m using it over 2 years from today, and never had a single problem with the prog.
September 14th, 2006 at 1:29 pm
I have tried using im+ on my e61 and none of the chat clients will connect at all. So I tried to uninstall and then reinstall and it still did not work, however I did notice that all of my information that I entered such as user names and passwords were still saved.
1) Is there anyway to fully uninstall this program
2) Why would none of the connections work, even using wifi the program still will not connect to any of the providers
Even more interesting is that with my same set up (Tmobile BB plan with all ports open) Agile worked flawlessly.
September 20th, 2006 at 9:22 am
How about ‘Mig 33′? Can it be used in E 61?
October 7th, 2006 at 12:48 am
Check out EQO Mobile now in Beta. All-in-one mobile AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Jabber, GoogleTalk and Skype on your phone. Works great on my E61!
http://www.eqo.com
October 8th, 2006 at 3:37 am
I tried EQO but it was extremely buggy and it lagged alot.. it kept asking to pick a connection, after the 10th time it would connect but then it asked again..this is after i changed the settings to Ask first time only..
October 11th, 2006 at 4:21 am
You should try causerie from MantraGroup.com . Till date, thats the only one which is optimized well for e61 and does install as trusted app as opposed to other apps. Give it a shot. Sleek!
October 11th, 2006 at 4:21 am
I forgot, you can add google talk to Causerie by putting gtalk server name in the jabber server field of the application.
October 12th, 2006 at 12:33 pm
ram,
i tried downloading the causerie.sis file to my nokia e62 but every time it downloads it tries to install but then says , “installation not supported for causerie.SIS”. Any clues as to what the issue might be?
Thanks,

I have been using Agile Messenger on my E-61 (PR2) device for last two weeks with AOL and GTalk and it rocks. I use IM+ on my Treo 700W and Causerie on my Treo 650 and think that Agile is better than the other two.
I am using version: 3.78(0).

Hey I’ve tried to download and install both the SIS and J2ME version of Causerie onto my Cingular E62 and the first time I downloaded the SIS directly to my phone the phone just crashed. The second time I downloaded the software I used the J2ME version and every time it trys to install it just says “Authorization Failed”. This same thing happened when I tried to install EQO (another Java enabled prog).
Is this a problem with the Cingular firmware? I have changed the application setting to allow “ALL” software
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! I have been happy with the phone thus far I just am disappointed that I cant seem to find a decent chat program that works
November 2nd, 2006 at 10:47 pm
Hi Guys,
I have Nokia E61 which is really good phone with all other facilties. I have one problem which is i m not position to solve my own.
I planning to use IM in built application provided by Nokia, since all other Messenger has asking for money or licence copy like Agile, IM+ etc.
What server i can defined in IM for Yahoo messenger.
Your help is really great appricate…
November 3rd, 2006 at 4:49 am
The e61 IM settings allows new servers to be specified. Would be good to compile a list of settings here for the various popular IM servers.
November 8th, 2006 at 8:42 pm
All,
Just checked out Chatnu.dk as per the suggested by hadocon.
Works great with the native built-in IM client on the E61.
This is greater then sliced bread.
He’s a single guy running the site for non-profit, so it’s currently lagging a bit in English translations, but he’s working on that.
Pretty strait forward to use though. Just register, and put chatnu.dk as server name in phone IM setup.

Hi guys, i was just wondering…does Agile Messenger work by connecting to GPRS/EDGE or by 3G?? It seems to connect only thru WiFi… it’s a bummer, coz i can’t seem to use it if i’m not in a hotspot..

What are the settings to access MSN Messenger through the Nokia E62 built-in IM software?
December 16th, 2006 at 9:57 pm
If you are using a Cingular Nokia E62 you just need your user ID and password. But be aware that each IM message counts as one SMS so unless you have a good SMS plan it can become very pricey.
Cheers

Can anyone explain how to download the programme from chatnu.dk for the E61. It’s all Danish to me, and I don’t know what I am looking at!
March 4th, 2007 at 12:17 am
Okay… I’ve tried many and settled on Mig33. It’s simple, clean and free. Unified IM solution that works beautifully on both E61 and E62.
Highly Recommended !
March 26th, 2007 at 6:57 pm
Agile is a winner, except for the 7 day trial expiration.
Mig33 is great too but there are times when I find it hard to login to YM. Will try it again now that I have already received my activation code.

May 1st, 2007 at 9:20 am
Few messengers for Nokia Symbian 60 v3 phones:
1. Go talk mobile: For connecting to Gtalk, Very imple to use, has a minimize option, and alerts the user on the standby screen for any messages. has a fairly decent UI,shows contacts in the same way trillian does (those of you who have used it ona PC). One tip, if it gets stuck at connecting, go to prefrences and change login server type from socket to HTTP. Best part, FREE!
2.Heir: For MSN messenger. Again, has standby mode with alerts, easy to use, and FREE aagain….
P.s.: to install these applications copy/move *.SIS files to mem card and select options–open. and the installer does the rest.

June 22nd, 2007 at 4:54 am
I was trying to set up IM (the preinstalled messenger on nokia e61) to use Wifi in my home network but i only have tmobile access points showing up. Is it actually possible to use IM via Wifi (or any of the above alternatives).
I don’t get flat rate here so i prefer chatting for free via wifi.
help greatly appreciated
July 15th, 2007 at 11:40 pm
I purchased IM+ a few days ago. It’s on the market quite a while now, and if you’re lucky you can make a good deal.
May impression after having used it for 3 days - woaw. I am surprised how smoothly designed and stable Symbian applications CAN be.
There are quite some for-free IM options, I tested a lot of them. None really met my needs even close. But the biggest issue - most of them are Java-based. I am a Java developer myself and I can say, you do not want a Instant Messenger app written in Java. It just feels misplaced - slow response, limited features, no native look and feel…
Furthermore most free IM have problems offering all of the most common IM services in one package. I found some supporting MSN only. others YAHOO and gTalk… but none of them worked fine and supported MSN, ICQ , YAHOO and gTalk. So that’s what IM+ gives me - no hassle, but a lot of fun for little money.
Btw, I have also tried Agile Messenger on my E61. It just feels old-fashion compared to IM+ and, more important - I do not like their upgrade policies.
August 26th, 2007 at 10:46 am
Looking for an answer on how to configure the preinstalled IM software on my Nokia E50 for MSN Messenger.
Has anyone anywhere been able to do this? What is the MSN “WEB ADDRESS”?
Or should i presume that because MSN gets no revenue from allowing for this.. it isn’t possible?
August 26th, 2007 at 11:08 pm
Has anyone been able to configure google talk on to their Nokia pre installed Instant messaging software?
September 4th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
Hmm, 14 day trial only and then $45 to buy. Spendy little app if you ask me, better be worth it. IM+ is “only” $30 i think. I’d prefer free myself.
September 8th, 2007 at 5:09 am
What a shame! I have been using Verichat on my Palm for so long and it has been the best smart phone IM client i have seen so far. It was put out of business as Nokia has bought the company a while ago. I thought Nokia would have a nice IM tool in its smart phone like e61i afterwards. But it is just a mess on e61i
September 29th, 2007 at 9:29 am
how can I download you?

Has anyone actually configured the IM on an E90 or E61? Are the settings sent via an text message as they are for internet or picture messaging? Does anyone have any idea what is entered in the Server name, Access point in use, Web address, User ID and Password windows? I’ve spoken to t-mobile and Nokia who don’t seem to have any idea what I’m talking about. Any information appreciated.

Norman, I use the native IM client in my E61i and it works ok. All you need is the address of the server and your account. There are some free services out there… just try to google for “free IMPS”. Mobjab.com is one of them, try register to the website and point your IM client to http://mobjab.mobi:9090 (the server address).

Hi Jon
There is no “server address” sepcifically for Yahoo or MSN messenger for the inbuilt IM on your Nokia phone. That connectivty needs to be provided by some IMPS provider. You can try http://www.mobjab.com
