I think the tough part would be making the transition onto mobile, and integrating the SMS/calling aspect into it. Yes, you've got the brand with MSN Messenger, but expanding that takes a vision of communications that I don't know MS had c.2009 when they would've needed to launch.

From what I recall, in the 2009 era you could actually get feature phones with MSN Messenger pre-installed here in the UK and it was actually advertised as a feature by mobile providers. Microsoft just lost interest.
MSN messenger was pre-installed on the Microsoft SPV orange phone in 2002...
