Thats actually quite nice, doesn't look quite as pretty on my E71 but works great just the same, the upload function is very fast.

Presumably this opens Ovi Share up to phones that don't support the Share Online application?

Hey, i use shozu to put my pics on flickr. how different is ovi? do we really need to manage two share sites??
Tzer2
Ashu, it's competition.

Ovi Share and Flickr are two rival sites doing the same thing, Ovi Share belongs to Nokia and Flickr belongs to Yahoo.

To be fair to Nokia though, you can use the latest phones' built-in Share Online app to upload to both services (and other services too if you add them).

mY N 82'S built in share online site is vox, i have no clue about that! Secondly, ovi in India is yet to catch up with the picasas and the flickrs of the world so even if i do that, none of my friends can see my album!!!!

Will get on the ovi train later...

Thanks

I think they had some problems doing Ovi Share in certain countries with tighter censorship laws. I'm not sure if India falls into that category, but it seems to be the reason why Ovi Share isn't available in some Middle Eastern countries.
