How to Add Facebook Chat On Nokia N900 Out of the Box

Facebook (FB) announced on Wednesday that they’ve made FB chat available everywhere using the Jabber technology, an open messaging protocol supported by most instant messaging (IM) software. Guess what? The Nokia N900 supported Jabber out of the box since it was launched! I’ll show you how you can add FB chat on the N900 without the need to install additional app or plugin.

Step 1. On your Nokia N900, go to Settings – VoIP and IM accounts and click the New button. Select Jabber as the service.

Step 2. Find your Facebook Chat username on this link by clicking on one of the clients. You just need to know the Jabber ID and your Facebook password.

Step 3. Type your username and password from step 2, then sign in. You don’t need to change anything else.

That’s it! You can now chat with your Facebook friends directly from your Contacts book without having to download apps or plugins. You can change your availability status directly from the status area on the Nokia N900.

    Awesome I had the Facebook conversation plugin but now I am having question if switching to Jabber will duplicate my contacts (the facebook account and the jabber account).

  • http://nokiamobileblog.com/ Edward

    The N900 is amazing! Even my iPhone friends were like ''let me see that again.''

  • http://twitter.com/maemofan AC

    Brilliant. I have the conversation plugin installed and like one of the posters before me am wondering if this will cause duplication of contacts.

  • http://thenokiablog.com Mark Guim

    I deleted the IM Facebook account from the older conversation plugin before
    trying this. No duplicates.

  • juka

    thanks mark, no older problems of contacts appearing twice

  • http://twitter.com/NZeeter Euan Andrews

    Same thoughts here…brilliant!

    The extra protocols/pidgen plugins for Facebook had the bug of duplicating and splitting merged contacts….that issue is now gone.

    Although, I still have a feature request that no dev has sussed out yet…only adding chosen contacts.

    I t would be so much better if we could select only those we want in our address/contacts book, rather then importing every Facebook freind, or every MSN contact.

    That…and I would rather see a Facebook icon for the Facebook IM chat, rather than the Jabber icon…but thats just nitpicking.

  • sine220

    hey…..I've done this and all my facebook friends are now in my contact……can someone explain if there is a way to disable this?

  • http://www.basshero.org/ jaywink

    I've been using the extra protocols from devel. How is this different from that?

  • rushey99

    fantastic, useing this method has stopped the excessive battery drain i was getting from the extra protos.

    BIG thums up.

    Also to thoese who only want to sync selected contacts, try deleting the ones you don't want in facebook. :D

  • http://twitter.com/NZeeter Euan Andrews

    The extra protocols from Devel has serious bugs…thats the big difference.
    Extra protocols will create duplicate Facebook contacts in your address book, and if you try to merge them, it will split them again.
    Extra protocols is also in Dev, meaning it may not be fully optimized and have many various side affects…Jabber is not.

  • http://twitter.com/NZeeter Euan Andrews

    Mark

    So whats the story with the Jabber Call?
    Is that VoIP?

  • http://www.basshero.org/ jaywink

    Thanks. Yeah I realize the devel stuff is potentially buggy (though personally I'm willing to experiment). What I meant were the technical differences. Some googling tells me the telepathy-extras uses some custom facebook plugin (pidgin origin?) and this Jabber method here just uses the new exposed XMPP. Of course the latter seems like a better option.

    Hopefully at some point there'll be a telepathy update so we can have it actually called 'Facebook' in the protocols list :)

  • balo0

    help! i got 300 new contacts with this… and none merged with old ones…. how do i undo this? Or how do i merge them easily afterwards?

  • magicjim

    So why am I getting only my FB friends ID -number when chatting? There's no picture or even name to know with who I am talking to.

  • balo0

    i got 200 contacts from my facebook account and none of them merged! so this does create doubles! i removed all other accounts and plugins before adding this one.

  • bbb

    How to add facebook messages to the N900?
    (please note that messages and chat are two different things)

  • 3xL

    well the plugin works fine and its a easier set up and its free….

  • selvam

    wow, tx a lot! extremely thankful as Nimbuzz also not available for N90.By the way how to add facebook contacts who are not already in ur contact list in the mobile??
