Nokia has followed-up yesterday’s announcement of a downloadable Windows Live suite of apps for many five S60 handsets by releasing a Flash demo of some of the service’s features, which you can view on this page.
Also, it has turned out that the Windows Live Messenger part of the suite is only free to use for 30-days, which, frankly, absolutely sucks. Okay, yes, these companies are — to some extent — in business to make money, but a) Messenger was developed as a free release for both PC and Mac so why is it now a paid-for service on mobile? and b) if Nokia is serious about growing the internet side of its business, forcing users to pay for something as ‘basic’ (in internet terms) as Messenger is very strange thing to do. We’re switched-off by this — are you?
Well hold on - do the math!
Think how much you spend a month on text(SMS) on your mobile.
I think paying a small fixed amount a month to use messenger when I’m out and about is a good deal in comparision.
Do you know how much it will be? If it’s reasonable I’ll be using it big time.
