And you may use Wavelog to post text, photos, audio and video directly from N95 to your WordPress blog! http://www.telewaving.com

Just started testing some lo-fi moblogging myself this week in my reports on Anzac Day.

By lo-fi I mean that I don’t have the “Internet” on my phone – all I can do is send MMS messages. But that’s enough – flickr has an “post by email via flickr to your blog” function, and you can send MMS messages to email addresses, so it’s all good.

I’ve also discovered Gabcast – you dial a Sydney phone number and record whatever you want straight down the line. Gabcast then can post that directly to your blog. So you can phone in audio reports live to your blog.

Of course, it helps that I’m only paying 10c a minute for mobile airtime.

i did it with the web browser via my wifi connection at home.

probably quicker would be to email it though.

Hi Darren

I hope to get my N95 next week. How did you post to your blog with the phone? Did you do it by email or actually use the web browser? I have been thinking about doing some moblogging on my WordPress blogs and I am curious how to do it without too much pain?

I think a podcast from a phone would be easier for me.
For me, it would be easier to just wait till I can find a place to upload from the laptop.

It’s nice to have the capability to blog when you’re out and about, but I’ve found that when I try to blog on the move the quality of posts isn’t as good – no time to think and harder to edit and format than on a PC.

That’s great! I was planning on using a PDA while I’m traveling the world to keep up on my blog… I don’t really want to lug around a laptop while I’m backpacking. Does your phone have windows mobile on it? I’m debating whether or not I should wait until version 6 comes out before I purchase it.

Cheers,

I did use n93i to write a post. But, I don’t like the wireless functionality provided by n93i. It is so slow. Besides, it always shows me the annoying “lose connection” warning message.

I like it. It seems like a slightly upgraded version of my phone, the Cingular 8125. I wonder if they were inspired at all by HTC?

Haha! That’s got to be in the top5 best posts on the net! Simple and straight to the point. Not only that, but the Adsense popped up an ad for the n5. I bet you’ll get a lot of clicks from people wanting to see what it looks like….but maybe you’d planned that already?

Great choice of phone, Darren! The N95 sure does look gorgeous. I’ll be sticking with my Samsung D600 for the time-being though, it allows me to talk to people half-way across the world and that’s all I need. ;)

Hope you have fun with your N 95, I hope to pick one up in 3 months time when my contract is up for renewal. Let us know how you get on with it, especially the camera. You might find this article interesting, comparing the N 95's camera to the Sony DSC-W12 which also has a 5.1 megapixel with Carl Zeiss lens. There are some good comparison shots.

This will make your online life (blogging activities) invade into your offline life!

But incase if you’re on a vacation, then it’s cool.

I have to agree with Chris, but it’s always a nice tool for those once in a lifetime “Aha !!!” moments…

By the way, great choice on the phone!!

Their is much less control for text-based Moblogging, I personally feel Moblogging is much better for Photoblogging!
