    I strongly recommend against using Octro. It maps all MSN ids into an internal Octro wankware mapping system and destroys their usability on other clients on, for example, your laptop/desktop. It took me 20-30 minutes to rebuild my contact list.

    Very annoying, and it didn't work well either.

    Cheers,

    Interesting application... for Mobile Instant Messaging I highly recommend MovaMessenger. Like Octro is it fully compatible, and free to download in use. It does not have voice integration but the UI and IM performance is second to none. You can download it on your mobile phone by opening your mobile browser to http://movamessenger.com.

    The same company also offers a slick mobile email application (java) called MovaMail.
