MSN Messenger 6.2 has been unreleased pending a last minute bug fix...it was released for a few hours so quite a lot of people have it...I'm using 6.2 because I downloaded it before the recall and can't be arsed to use 6.1 since 6.2 works fine...

Yes, in fact there are some problems/bugs with 6.2 and that's why Microsoft hasn't released publicly 6.2 yet. It's been said M$ will release it on Monday. I'd suggest you to stay with 6.1 and wait until M$ puts 6.2 in http://messenger.msn.com (and not in http://messenger.msn-int.com which is an internal site for M$'s betas)

so youre sayin that they removed 6.2 cuz of a bug?
so 6.2 is not released definitly yet?

Theoretically you shouldn't even have 6.2, it's only officially released on Monday. So, that being said, I suggest you stick with 6.1 for a while, I mean..come on, it's just one more day =).

But without theory ETC ETC  I've went back to 6.1 As i dont like some features in the new 6.2 like Graphic emotions and the mobile contacts :|  I just hope Microsoft dont force an upgrade on me

I would choose MSN 6.2, there are some upgrades,But hey, 1 is better than 2 right? ^o)

In this case, no. In the current version of MSN 6.2 are a few bugs which could crash your pc. I reccomend people to stay with 6.1 until Microsoft releases thier fixed 6.2 (probally on monday).

Once a fixed version of 6.2 is released it would probally be the best to switch to 6.2 because of the security fixes in that version

Hmm... about the mobile contacts thing...
One of my contacts with 6.2 told me that users who have provided their cell phone number are grouped together and that there's no way to ungroup them - is this true? :S
Cuz in that case I'm not gettin' 6.2 on monday. :)

No, it's not true...

A new group has been created for mobiles, yes, that's true... but depending on your settings, they just appear along the others. You can choose to group them though...
