Looking for an IM gadget

Hey.

I've recently been looking to purchase a gadget which allows me to use my MSN Messenger remotely while out and about.

I know of a few US gadgets which do this, the ZipIt and the Mylo, and the OGo does this too but all are not available to use within the UK.

I'm looking for a gadget so I can chat to people over my MSN when I'm out, and if possible would like it to work both in the UK and in the US.

I have absolutely no idea what to search for, so am hoping you guys know a little more than I do.

All help appreciated :)

    Series 60 Nokia phones will do this as well (N73, N80, N95 etc).

    MSN works well on a hacked ipod touch, need to be in a wifi zone, suppose the iphone would do the same - just not excatly cheap!

    I think Three, do or did free access to msn on their network. A friend of mine has some LG phone which isnt even a smartphone and he manages to have MSN on it somehow.
