Easy blogging with Nokia and Globe

June 20, 2006, Manila, Philippines and Espoo, Finland - Globe Telecom, the leading telecommunications operator in the Philippines, and Nokia, the global leader in mobility, today announced that Globe is the first operator in the world to offer their customers a fully integrated mobile online sharing experience with the newest compatible Nokia Nseries multimedia computers.

Without the need to download or install any additional applications, Globe customers can now upload their photos and video clips directly from their compatible Nokia Nseries device to G-Blogs, Globe’s mobile blogging service. The first devices to support this feature are the Nokia N93 and Nokia N73 multimedia computers.

Moreover, Globe customers can also post entries to G-Blogs directly through Nokia Lifeblog. Nokia Lifeblog is a unique collection and storage solution for personal multimedia content, where, with the push of a button, content from a Nokia handset can conveniently be transferred to a compatible PC or to an online blog. Nokia Lifeblog is available in all Nokia Nseries devices and other Nokia devices such as the Nokia 3230, Nokia 7610, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 6630 and Nokia 6260. More information on how to use Nokia Lifeblog with G-Blogs can be found at www.g-blogs.com.
