Nokia has released Nokia Chat, an IM application on steroids.
Nokia Chat is an IM application which lets you share your status and your geographical location with your friends.
Nokia Chat is based on XMPP/Jabber the open standard IM protocol behind Google Talk and a number of other IM communities. This makes Nokia Chat compatible/interoperable with Google Talk and other Jabber based communities.
In order to use the client you need to use your Nokia Account. If you don’t have a Nokia Account you can easily set one up from the application.
There are a number of feature I really like with the application:
- Handover between WLAN and GPRS
- Easy set up of both application and the Nokia account
- Ability to indicate physical location through “send location”
- Beautiful emoticons, see below.
Most of my friends are on Jabber networks so I have no problems connecting to friends on other IM communities. However, one limitation with the current version of the application is that Yahoo! IM, AIM and MSN is not supported.
Why doesn’t Yahoo!, Microsoft and AOL embrace XMPP/Jabber - sigh.
Just a small note:
you really need Internet Services Support Package 1.05, I had 1.01 installed and Chat didn’t want to start at all
Regards
Evgeni, annoyed by the fact one can’t use another XMPP server…
I tried to install it twice, and it didnt work on my E61i,i have a blank icon and when i access it theres nothing appear in the contacts (no new tab just like the one in gizmo from beta labs),weird.
Looks good.. Gotta try it on my E61 & E51…
I have a nokia E51 with internet service support package 1.01. when installing the 1.05 it says the previous 1.01 cannot be deleted. can someone help? PLEASE….
Thanks Ed - you are the first one to share our video
> you really need Internet Services Support Package 1.05,
> I had 1.01 installed and Chat didn’t want to start at all
Uh, didn’t anybody mention this?
Looks very similar to new iPhone’s recently anounced feature =)
Does Nokia Chat have an ICQ transport?
Does it work with SMS only?
Thanks
hello
i downloaded both the files and installed in my e-51, i hve a valid account also with nokia, but the chat client is not working. any idea on troubleshooting?
can we get it on e61i also? need to know some trick!!!
I’m a Nokia E51 user and you have clearly mentioned that this software is compatible with this device. but when i try to install the “Nokia_Internet_Services_Support_Package_1.05″ clashes with the “Nokia_Internet_Services_Support_Package_1.01″. I tried deleting it manually but that didn’t work either. can you please help? formatting the memory card will solve the problem but i cannot do so because there are some applications i cannot delete because they cost me alot do download them. so i would be really thankful if you guys at can offer me a proper solution.
thanks.

Internet Services Support Package 1.05 where do you find this ??
@ wesley
from here http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/Nokia_Internet_Services_Support_Package_1.05.SIS
Hey man i was wondering what the theme you’ve been using on your presentation, if you have a link for it that would be great,thanks
@ Tommi,
Say hi to Philip for me.
Good to hear from you again
@ Ellan,
It works over any data connection (GPRS/WLAN etc.) so it is not dependent on SMS.
@ Fawaz
photos and a post is under way.
That’s “Dark” one of the official themes loaded with the NEW E71, yes, I got one
However, there is a similar looking theme here:

Cheers
Wow gongrats man for the E71, bet yr having fun with it :-p looking forward to read your posts,thanks
Thanks fawaz, I LOVE the device!!! The E71 rocks!
To FAWAZ or ADMIN:
I cannot delete or replace the “Internet Services Support Package 1.01″ in my Nokia E51 in order to install Nokia Chat which requires “Internet Services Support Package 1.05″. Please offer me a solution…Thanks in advance…
@winura, i think happened with me once but im not sure if its going to work..
Here it goes,switch off your device and switch on,without going to contacts,(i noticed when i went to contacts the package couldnt be uninstalled),and dont run the application you installed with that package as well, just go to application manager as soon as your device is on and remove the package, this worked for me the other time, hope its usefull for you.
Confirmed: does NOT work with E61
I thought this would be to ALL Nokia 9.x Symbian phones, but not. Too bad Nokia does not care 4 ppl with older phones.
@ FAWAZ, thanks a lot. it did the trick. this application works well with nokia E51.
You’re most welcome winura,glad i could help
Am I the only one that thinks this would be great if integrated into the S60 OS as a whole? meaning add this as another great feature in addition to the Nokia Conversations app and make the whole experience greater but integrating all of these things.
Anyone who tried it on the E61?? I dont wanna make mess of the already slow fone. Its showing lots off errors these days after I installed Nokia E-mail….
I tried installing on my E61i and no go…the support package installs fine and so does the app but the app will not start. It will be listed in your apps folder but will have no icon.
Hopefully they will resolve this issue soon.
Currently I am able to use the built in IM app with mobjab.com
Thanks for the info SaDudE
hey guys… how many of you are using this application?
Guys id you’re interested in using your built in IM then try yamigo.com its more secure and older in the business, its true that it wasnt working for some time but its back on track now.
Doesn’t seem to work on E65, blank icon and nothing happens whe I try to run it just like Fawaz on E61i
No new updates on e-series?Seems like the ed is busy painting his home again.
Ya too bad, i got an E71 and returned it coz of battery problems,ill get another one when the tmobile version will be released..incredible phone
Does anyone know when the BB software for the E71 will be available? rumours? whispers? I really want to upgrade my E61, but need the instant push of BB for my business.
Sorry to tell you that lisa but bbc wont be available on the e series from now on,u can get seven for an alternative,works like a charm on the e71,you wont even feel it running on background.
Hey Ed,
Still around? Hope you still like Nokia phones! I finally took the plunge and bought an E71. Hope all is well.

Yo Ed. You owe the community at least a write up about Nokia Email service. You’re the email king for Eseries. It doesn’t get better than that!! Get crackin and come out of retirement! Encore!
Yep, the Ed has run away again leaving the poor E-Series users in cold. He Ed, u didnt finish painting your home yet?
after I had problems with the e71 I changed to my first windows mobile; the HP iPAQ 910 business messenger, which is cool..still looking forward to E75 though
Fawaz what what wrong with your E71?
I find that I have to charge it everyday because I need to leave the BT on.
My E61 had much better battery life!
I’d like the E75 as well, dont know if I will ever go to Windows Mobile.
ok nevermind..i read your previous post! hah! looks like i’m not the only one!
pls i use nokia E71 and at a point i do get this popup messsage “invalid password please check the password in profile > credentials >password” what would be the possible cause or what shd i do to rectify this
I use E65. Nokia Chat was set up. However, It didn’t start. I didn’t know why it didn’t work.
