Default MSN?

So would it be possible to make an offical-ish looking app that works like MSN on blackberrys? I bloody hate the 3rd party IM clients im currently stuck with, I only care about MSN not AIM or bloody Yahoo.

I don't mind making up art work, I can't code to save myself however

what do you mean that works on blackberrys?
If you mean one that can communicate with BBIM then thats not possible, thats only for Blackberrys.

Also there is no official android MSN app. Ebuddy works fine, you only need to add a MSN account and then it wont show or ask you about anything else. It will auto sign in your MSN account when you launch your app and then you can start chatting away. There is nothing wrong with Ebuddy

No no for blackberry or to communicate, I mean something that looks like the MSN app provided by Microsoft/Blackberry, I am aware of eBuddy as I currently use it, In my opinion it is nasty but also the best of them, Why I was hoping to go about getting a official looking MSN app on Android

I would love a real MSN Client. Like in Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.

With:

- Change your User Icon
- Change your Nickname
- Change your Personal Message
- Offline Messaging
- Able to send and receive buzzers
- Able to send and receive files.
- While looking good without crappy iPhone-style bubbles (Looking at you eBuddy!)

I would be happy with just standard messages with the ability to change Nickname and personal message, User icon would be a bonus all the other stuff im not TO fussed about, especially since "Windows Live" has changed the send on files like photo to a sharing experience

Is it just T-Mo UK that blocks MSN via 3G, then (that is, the official version on :1873).
Galaxy Note (N7000XXLSA Leak 1/Dec)

OT: I prefer to use Google Talk for chatting. Is anyone else using transports to connect to ICQ and MSN via Google Talk?
