The new service, that is available from mobile.msn.com comes in two flavors, a WAP 1.x version and a version for WAP 2.x phones. When you hit the service from your phone we detect your device capabilities and route you to the correct version. Its the WAP 2.x version that probably most exciting to folks that have purchased a new phone in the last couple of years as it most likely has a decent xHTML/HTML browser in it. For those lucky folks this new service now provides:
- Rich emoticons support
- The ability to view and manage up to five active conversations
- Customers can change the display names, status etc
- Full access to your Live Contacts, still my favorite live service
- Search your contacts, hide offline contacts etc
