Free Instant Messaging AIM, ICQ, MSN Beta Group Wireless Village "My Friends" Service
On most Nokia phones you have "My Friends" in your phone. This is known as Wireless Village.
I am developing a new Wireless Village Community, at this time you can join a limited beta group (Need 300-1000 users to beta test).
1. You will not have to use a 3rd party application to IM (Better than IM+, etc. as it uses no overhead and memory, WV "Wireless Village" or "My Friends" is embeded in your phone.) You will not install anything on your phone!
2. You will use NO SMS/MMS (no nickel and diming fees, etc.)
3. Wireless Village allows you to create private/ public chat rooms for massive group chats
4. Chat with your contacts on AIM, ICQ and MSN at this time. (Yahoo and Google comming in the next week or two)
5. We support PC Clients such as Miranda, iChat, Etc.
6. Soon will support Email to Wireless Village and Wireless Village to Email messaging too.

I've got this setup on my unbranded 6131 and I'm able to see contact's presence in my contact list, as well as use the built-in IM client!! GOODBYE AGILE AND IM+!!
I'll second what Rcadden said, this is an amazingly smooth service! For those that tried Yamigo and found that it SUCKED and didn't work half the time, this is a no-brainer... finally able to use the built in IM client on my Series 60!!!!!
Thank you all (Howard Forums and Symbian-Guru.com) for your assistance in getting enough TESTERS active; it is really important to us to get this right and not another failing attempt like the two others before us.
As part of BETA we have to suspend today NEW signups but we want to accept ALL emails to be on the list for a larger group test.
We will hopefully be full public BETA in the next few weeks.
Please have all email send to BETA@PacketBox.com and we will have our site up soon for more info for PR. Thank you again for your assistance and interest.
Travis, any estimate on when you may open up testing again?
It will hopefully be this week if not by early next.
We are stress testing and working hard on providing a gravely needed service for those of the community that know embeded is a FAR cry better than any 3rd party application
Again, thank you ALL for participation and for the interest. I hope that everyone can share their experiences with others in this forum and pass info on the project along.
