Vox Mobile Application by Six Apart

There has been a great deal of buzz around the s60 community since Six Apart and Nokia announced their cooperative tool that allows users to post photos, videos, and even sounds to their Vox blog from their S60 3rd device. Personally I think this is great and I'm happy that more and more mobile blogging services are popping up. What most blogs that I've come across aren't mentioning however, is that Vox is NOT restricted to the few newer devices listed on the main Nokia page on the Vox website. In fact, users can post to their Vox blog from many Windows Mobile 5, Palm OS, and s60 1st/2nd/3rd devices.

Enter Vox Mobile. Vox Mobile is a signed app that in my opinion is a far superior option compared to enabling and configuring Vox as an open online service. Vox Mobile allows you to view and create photo, video, and audio blog entries from one central app. As you can tell from the name of my blog, I like apps...

Vox Mobile makes posting to your blog much more efficient. From the options menu you can choose either to take a new photo/video/sound and build your post around it, or you can select Add to browse the appropriate gallery and import your photo/video/sound.

Once you've selected the multimedia focus of your new post you can enter a title, body, and tags for your post.

From there it's as simple as simple as choosing Publish and waiting a few short seconds as Vox Mobile connects and publishes your new post.

See the result of the example images above in my Vox blog.

For whatever reason the installers are not terribly easy to find on the Vox site - which is really what prompted me to post about Vox despite the fact that you've already read about it 50 times. Now go download this great freeware app and get blogging!

And here is the well hidden download page for all platforms

3 - @Eric if you have an N73, there is a built in flickr app that is pretty good.

4 - Ciao

great blog and reviews. Thanks for the link to Vox. I agree that the app is better then the online service (which on my N93 does not work!)

6 - My big problem with this application, it forgets its settings!

By default it hijacks your camera, and asks every time if you want to post it to vox. This is great if you want it, and you can tell vox to stop this behaviour. But close the vox application or reset your phone, and it forgets what you've told it, and continues to hijack your camera. (Comment this)
