Nokia users can download (1-5.16 MB, depending on the device) IM for Nokia from the Ovi Store and log in using their Ovi account username and password. This is the same username and password that they use when downloading from Ovi Store.
The Finnish phone maker stated that although IM for Nokia is currently only available from Ovi Store, it will come pre-installed on new devices over the coming months. This app is available for the Nokia X6, Nokia 5230, Nokia N8, Nokia E7 and for devices powered by Symbian Series 40 as well.
