Nokia Messaging for IM has been around for quite a long time but was only supported by S60 3rd edition devices until today. The Finnish company finally released a special version of the instant messaging client for S60 5th edition phones, allowing users to chat directly from their phone using an official application. The client can handle Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger and Ovi Chat but does not support audio and video call features.

What's new with this version is the addition of a widget that lets you check the ongoing conversations at a glance directly from your homescreen. Another nice addition is the ability to change your avatar directly from the application without having to browse a specific webpage. Hence, you can use a freshly capture photo as a profile picture without having to transfer it to your computer or to use any other application.

Here's a little preview of the application:
