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:
