Nokia Messenger Beta for S60 5th Edition Releases

25 Apr, 2009, 1:56 pm IST | by Shayne Rana | Smartphones

For those Series 60 Fifth Edition users i.e. users of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, who were itching to have a go at the new Nokia Messaging service and were denied, lay down your arms as the guys from their Beta labs are out with version just for you.


A beta version of Nokia’s Messaging Service that was recently launched with the Nokia E75 for Series 60 Devices has been customized for the 5800. The full version is scheduled for a launch sometime in May so there won’t be too much of a wait. There’s not going to be any significant change in the interface other than it’ll be larger and now obviously be made for the fingertips and not a physical keypad.

The Beta Labs website lists the following as some of the highlights specific to the S60 5.0 client:
  • Easier program navigation with support for ‘tap & hold’ contextual functionality
  • Completely fingertip-operated, no stylus required
  • Functions in landscape and portrait views
  • Message previews in the inbox view
  • Displays address book contact photos in messages
They’ve also urged users to pay close attention to all instructions during installation and have urged users to provide feedback on the functionality of the service. You can send in your feedback here.
