If you want to have text chats on your mobile phone, there are plenty of free Symbian instant messaging programs to choose from. Nimbuzz, fring, Palringo, Slick, and more.
Nokia Messaging is an email client, Facebook application, and instant messenger combined. For more about its email features, check this review.
The instant messenger part of Nokia Messaging is no match for the competition. Nokia Messaging only connects to Yahoo and Nokia's Ovi chat network, and since the latest update it does Google Talk too.
Since Nokia likes to make things as confusing as possible, Nokia Messaging comes in two flavors. There's Nokia Messaging IM Beta, which only works on the Nokia E63, E71, and E75. Nokia Messaging Social Messaging Beta works on the Nokia 6700 Classic and the N97. And then there's a third program which does what Nokia Messaging IM Beta finally learned to do: Ovi Contacts is an instant messenger that connects to Google Talk and other Jabber-based networks.
It looks like there are a couple of teams at Nokia Beta Labs who're programming similar applications with overlapping functions, and who don't have any idea what their colleagues are doing.
All these chat and mail programs will probably be merged into a single product. Maybe Nokia Messaging will turn into something useful, but in their present state Ovi Contacts and both flavors of Nokia Messaging are so close to useless that you better stick with the competition for the time being.

Goes to prove that Nokia is run by a bunch of morons out of touch with reality and what the markets want - with the biggest asshole at the top (ollipekka-whatever-the-fuck he calls himself) and the jackasses that built, approved and hyped the N97 piece of shit.
One thing they are good at is digging a grave for themselves. BTW, what the fuck were they thinking by releasing a GSM device N900 WITHOUT a digital compass!? With all that power you can no longer effectively use augumented reality apps on it - douchebags.
