Facebook now uses the Jabber (XMPP) protocol for Facebook Chat – this means that any device/software which supports the Jabber protocol can connect to facebook chat.
The Nokia N900 supports the Jabber protocol out of the box as part of it’s instant messaging support, so the N900 can connect to Facebook chat seamlessly. Below are the steps I followed to enable Facebook Chat on my N900.
- Go to the Nokia N900 Settings Menu
- Select the “VoIP and IM accounts” option
- Select New account
- Select the Jabber protocol
- In the User Name field enter <facebookusername>@chat.facebook.com
e.g. joebloggs@chat.facebook.com
- In the Password field enter your normal Facebook password
- Hit the “Sign In” button
That’s it, you should now be signed in to Facebook Chat.
You can see who’s online and start chats using the Conversations/IM widget.
