Last week I brought you a way to install MSN on the N9. It was very long and involved extensive terminal work. This is an updated way, using three .deb files and four simple terminal commands. It will provide you with access to creating these accounts using the Accounts UI app.

First of all, download these three files straight on the device;

• LibPurple
• Telepathy-Haze
• IM-Providers-Additional

1. Open terminal, and gain root access using devel-su with rootme as password unless changed.
2. Enter cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
3. Enter ; dpkg -i libpurple0_*.deb
4. dpkg -i telepathy-haze_*.deb
5. dpkg -i im-providers-additional-0.2.deb
6. Restart the device
7. If successful, you should have the various IM providers in the Accounts app.

Note: Enter lines 3 – 5 separate as they need to be done individually in that order. Also, if icons in Accounts stuff up, just restart device again. Continued icon corruption can supposedly be fixed by replacing icons in /usr/share/themes/blanco/icons/

Create the account like you normally would in the Accounts app, and, as usual, use Availability to go online.

This way of installing the IM includes the service not only in the Accounts app, but in the contact cards of those you merge.

If you need help, put it in the comments below, or send me a tweet

Update: If you followed my last post, just run mc-tool remove butterfly/msn/accountid in terminal. This will stop a duplicate entry of the account.

Cheers to Niwakame and Billranton for the simplest way yet!

If you are sick and tired of the state of the Ovi store and want to do something about it then start programming. I downloaded the Nokia Qt SDK today onto my MAC today for the intention of learning to code for Nokia phones and with such great tools like the Qt SDK it’s easer than ever.

BTW with “analysts” and tech sites being obsessed with the iCandy form Apple it is important for Developers to add animations for Apps for Nokia devices

Also notice he is in a train sort of

Hot on the heels of the super sexy 8600 Luna (above), leaked pics have surfaced of the newer 8900 (below).

It’s not getting much love from Stefan over at IntoMobile.

Personally, I’m not liking that chrome lip where the slide closes. It looks like some wierd big chinned robot, and the dpad is the nose, screen being the visor.

No, wait…it looks like one of those statues on EASTER ISLAND!
