If there was an easier way to integrate it into my current services then I guess I’d probably use it more…

Y’know something like: “Import GTalk Contacts”

That might make it easier; work *with* other products, not against…

Ricky,
You are one of the few people who are on all the time. There are a few more but I don’t want to name names. I’m kind of surprised though that some of the people we are in touch with regularly from Nokia aren’t using Ovi IM.

I’ve only gotten really into it since I got the E75 because it’s on the home Screen. I made it one of my shortcuts on my E71 but I wish there was a plug in similar to that of the E75 for the home screen of the E71.

I’m logged in all day, every day, since I set it up on Digsby – however, I think therein lies the major problem – it’s not super easy to set up on a desktop client, and requires more steps than just the installation and login.

However, your point that there aren’t any Nokians on there is interesting. I would imagine…..that they *are* using it internally, but that they’re also using it maybe on a private server or something. I’d guess that having them publicly available would get to be a bit of a nightmare, for sure.

I also agree that they’ve got some big, big plans (I don’t know any of them, just guessing here), and that we’ll see that soon.
