Setting up MSN Premium on iphone IS NOT POSSIBLE! No matter what pop or live info you got from MSN it simply wont work. If you call MSN they will tell you "NO!". Heck they wont even verify their own server accounts even though we already konw what they are.
However there are some alternatives, of these Mbox Mail seems to be the best. But it will cost you $10 as price has gone up and may increase again in the future. So get it while you still can. Mbox supports MSN, Hotmail, Windows Live mail.
Alternatives:
IzyMail
Pros: Very easy to setup
Cons: Not free, Does not support folders, email passes through 3rd party servers
You can get Hotmail right on your iPhone. IzyMail gives you all your email in an easy to setup application.

Free Pops
Pros: Free
Cons: Must keep PC running all the time and have some technical know how, limited to use in WiFi and a configuration that is not always easy to setup.
So this took some thinking but I finally have hotmail on my iPhone. The only limitation is you need to have a computer running that is working as the middle man, Here are the steps:
1 - Setup a free email account like gmail (use a new one)
2 - On a mac, install FreePops

3 - To make your life easy, also install the front end application MacFreePOPS

5 - Set up a rule in Mail to Redirect all messages in this new account to another email address (use the gmail account you set up in step 1)
6 - Set up the new gmail account in Mail
7 - Sync your iPhone
8 - Sit back and enjoy
The basic overview is that FreePops is a local application on your Mac that works as a server and gets mail from your hotmail account and loads it into your MAIL application. Using the MAIL application, you can then redirect new messages to the new gmail account you set up. Finally, after you set up the gmail and sync your iPhone, the new account will automatically get added to your iPhone mail app. Now you are good to go.
Safari
Pros: Free
Cons: Slow and hard to use
Open
