Nokia Beta Labs have just released their own version of Instant Messaging software for some of their Nokia S60 handsets. The application let's you chat to your friends, show them where you are using Nokia Maps and arrange to meet them.

Initial impressions are it is very much beta, slightly buggy, but the potential is there to finally integrate many aspects of socialising into one converged application, IF Nokia can pull it off.

Go over to the Nokia Chat website to download and try on the application yourself. The compatible list of handsets are:
