Nokia launch mobile printing service in Europe

5 replies · 2,802 views · Started 29 June 2007

Nokia have launched a mobile photo printing service for Europe for its Nseries phones. The Nokia XpressPrint service is a downloadable add-on for the Gallery application. Photos are uploaded to an online printing service and delivered by post. Prices and availability vary by country; in the UK prints cost 10p and in addition to a different print sizes a number of other products (mugs, t-shirts and bears) are also available.

In a similar move, though one limited to people in Finland, the Finnish post office now lets you send real postcards with your mobile. A java app on your phone lets you communicate with the post office through the internet, and they will send a physical postcard with your message and choice of picture with the cost going on your phone bill. The postcards cost 1.9 euros to anywhere in the world.

You can download the two-part java app from this site, using your Symbian phone's web browser (no need to enter addresses manually):

You then just follow the instructions, and the app will tell you exactly what to do.

Do the bears know about this ?

"Do the bears know about this ?"

Since they joined the European Union, environmental laws have forbidden Finns from shooting bears, and the bear population has greatly increased in Finland. Maybe this is all a scheme to try and get rid of them by other means... 😉

Tried to install on to N73 V4.0723.2.0.1, un branded SIM free device. Installation failed, got this error message:

"Unable to install. Install base package first."

Nice!!!!!!!

Tried both N73, and N73 ME SIS files (SIS files had same name)

Anyone else seen problems.

N95 installed fine
