You have to create an account on the website which is done quickly and easily. You also have to install a java program on your phone using the normal procedure.

ShoZu

ShoZu lets you upload photos and videos from your phone to online sharing services like flickr. Title, tags and description can be set for uploads. Comments made on photo or video can be seen and replied. The program can also send pictures and videos by email and can post them on a blog.

Although transferring images may seem like a slow thing on a mobile internet connection, the program worked fine for me on GPRS, it may take a little while when uploading, viewing online images is fine because it shows thumbnails instead of downloading the complete pictures.

Has got an easy to use interface, performance is also pretty good and serves its purpose well. So if you love to take photos and videos using your cell phone and share it with the world this piece of software is a must.

ShoZu is now also providing photo, video and music content for mobile users as a Zucast. There are some Zucasts available which you can view for free.

Opera Mini

A web browser for your mobile phone, lets you view only wap sites but also html ones. The browser is amazingly fast. Although some similar products exist, Opera Mini is doubtlessly the best one around. Although it can not display the fancy stuff like macromedia or javascript based pages but what I like is that it can download and save files on the phone memory.

The interface is very nice, supports themes, main page shows recently visited pages, book marks along with a search engine and address bar. The bookmarked pages also shows the site fav icons. The view can be changed using the star(*) key if a greater page display area is required.

All the pages are compressed before being sent to the phone that not only decreases the time for loading pages but can also reduce internet charges in some cases. Although you can’t load gmail on it, this has so far been the most useful application on my cell phone.
