It's been about ten months since the first S60 3rd Edition SymbianOS smartphone hit the market. Nokia made a lot of changes to the underlying OS and broke compatibility with the ~1800 S60 2nd Ed. applications that were already available. Ten months later, there are about 220 applications for the new version of S60. This is a small list of the Top-10 freeware applications for your new S60 phone.

You need the IMHere J2ME application (previously called eMSN). It is bare bones and ad-supported, but the only one that kinda works and it's free. There are no free native Symbian apps for MSN. Both IM+ and AgileMessenger cost money.

Eugenia is not quite correct. There are several freeware MSN clients for the the s60v3 platform:

I am using the a client developed by Nokia Hong Kong:

It's pretty basic, but I didn't really expect more functionality.
N73 is a pretty good phone, so far I am very happy with it. It does have a few minor annoyance though, like not being able to create subfolders in the menu section.
Too bad that N73 doesn't run s60v3 FP1:

this is a good site dedicated to symbian v3 apps. http://www.symbianv3.com/
about the autolock thing. I cannot even enter a lock code on my e61. It says in the book that the default code is 01234 but when i enter that code to try and change it or even lock the phone i just get a message that says code error. i thought this was supposed to be fixed in the new firmware.

Just what I needed - a nice summary of useful stuff I can pop on to my phone, some I hadn't looked at before.
I concur with Autolock being at number one. It is pretty indispensable, because I find the locking mechanisms on Nokia's phones to be less than perfect and not exactly easy to use or set up.
An honourable mention is also worthy of OggPlay (http://symbianoggplay.sourceforge.net/). Using that and Internet Radio actually turns my phone into the universal smart phone and media device that all these companies say exists, but doesn't.
