    This is how to install MSN Messenger for an unbranded Nokia N73 on the 3 Ireland mobile after it has been flashed with unbranded firmware... bypassing that certification crap :-)

    Transfer both the JAD and the JAR file in the zip across to the phones memory via PC-Suite/File Manager.

    On the phone use the Tools/File Mgr. to browse to the files. Open the JAD file (not the JAR) to proceed with the installation of MSN Messenger for the 3 ireland network. Note, this is the same application that you had installed with the branded firmware prior to un-branding the phone so your accessing MSN through 3's network, therfore your MSN messages go through for free. You are using the same service on the same phone so I don't know why 3 blocked installing MSN on the unbranded (and less buggy) firmware.

    Tested on:

    Nokia N73 on 3 Ireland
    V4.0726.2.0.1

    Note: Use at your own risk, I don't want tons of emails saying you bricked your phone. Always scan files.

    My reason for posting this is that 3 refused to give me any indication as to when they were gonna update their old buggy out of date branded firmware. I was just been told that when its out, its out. The current firmware on the Nokia N73 for 3 Ireland is very buggy, eg, powering of phone when in silent mode crashes the phone, camera can cause crashes, mp3+voice tone crashed the phone and many more. So i went ahead and updated my phone to the latest unbranded firmware. I was then unable to install MSN Messenger from 3's site due to a certification error. go figure :-P Come on 3!. So hopefully by this post, you'll get back on MSN usung the above :-)

    Downloaded these files on a Nok 6151, I couldnt open the jad file but the jar file opened fine, but when I tried to connect it wouldnt. Guess that is because the jad file has to be setup for correct data provision via the 3ireland.ie APN?

    this is for a Nokia N73, also, think u have to be in 3G coverage, as i can only connect when on 3G coverage and not GSM. But this definatetly works on Nokia N73.

    As long as you do as instructed and use the jad file for installation.
